An elegant editorial workspace flat lay on a warm cream background: an open manuscript with handwritten notes in the margins, a gold fountain pen resting diagonally across the pages, a small sprig of dried botanicals, and soft warm light from the side. Sophisticated, literary, warm ivory and gold tones. No people.
A close-up of handwritten story notes and a manuscript spread open on a desk, with a gold pen making structural edits, warm candlelight glow, black ink on cream paper, elegant and literary atmosphere

Developmental Editing

$0.009/word

Line editing: voice, prose, clarity, flow, and sentence level refinement

Copy editing: grammar, consistency, usage, and mechanics.

Two layered manuscript drafts side by side on a dark surface, gold paperclips and a fountain pen, warm editorial atmosphere, showing the before and after of a polished book manuscript, sophisticated black and gold tones

Combination

$0.012 (developmental and copy/line)

Includes 2 rounds of editing. Returned after developmental editing to the author for review prior to second round of edits.

A single clean page of a story synopsis on a dark wood desk, with a gold wax seal stamp resting beside it, a quill pen, and soft spotlight lighting from above. Elegant and classic literary feel. Black and gold tones. No people.

Synopsis Review

$50 (flat fee)

Going down the traditional publishing route? I can help you shape up that synopsis too!

A beautifully presented query letter and the first 10 pages of a manuscript, fanned out on a dark background, with a gold envelope and elegant wax seal. Clean white paper, gold accents, dramatic lighting. Publishing and literary agent aesthetic. No people.

Query Letter and first 10 pages

$75 (flat fee)

Lets get right into it. Most manuscripts are skipped over because of their query letter or sample pages. It is important to start your story at the right place and highlight your writing from the start. Agents are looking for reasons to put your story down, don’t let this section be that reason.

Wolley Writing House stands firmly behind human-created work.

I believe writing is more than the arrangement of words. It is imagination, perspective, voice, vulnerability, and the uniquely human experience behind a story.

Client manuscripts remain the author’s work. I will never feed a client’s manuscript into a generative AI system as part of my editing process.

Technology has a place in publishing, but Wolley Writing House is built around human stories and human voices.
