Editing Services

My rates are competitive, my work thorough, but compassionate. As I am also a writer, I know exactly how hard you’ve worked, and how important it is to be given clear guidance on where to go next.
I’ve critiqued and edited hundreds of manuscripts (references available) for novelists and non-fiction writers alike. Beyond copy-editing, I offer developmental and structural editing, with your whole project and an eye toward publication in mind.

  • Novels
  • Memoirs
  • Non-fiction books
  • Non-fiction book proposals
  • Essays and short stories

NEW:
To help you get started, here are some introductory packages:

  • 20 for $20: This package allows us both to get a feel for each other’s work for an affordable price!
  • Read and Crit: For just $1/page + $50 I’ll read your entire manuscript and compose a summary letter detailing what works, what needs work, and all the suggestions I have therein.
  • Pitch Package: Preparing a query and synopsis to pitch to agents or publishers? I’ll critique and edit two drafts of your query and synopsis for just $75.
  • Proposal Aid: Have a book proposal written that just doesn’t feel like it’s there yet? For one flat fee I can help you bring it up to par (editing/comments only, writing not included). $150.

Editing Packages

When you contact me for an editing bid, please specify the type of editing you are interested in (rates vary):

  • Copy-editing or Proofreading (typos, grammar, flow, etc.)
  • Developmental editing (structure, content flow, plot, character, big picture, etc.)

Testimonials

“Three years ago, Jordan Rosenfeld became my editor. Her keen eyes, gentle probing, and insightful suggestions have helped me develop my writing abilities and create my own unique style and voice. She has taught me to dig deeply into my psyche and to explore the territory encompassing my own shadows. I have learned to “show” rather than “tell” and to paint my stories with a fine camelhair brush rather than a spray gun. With her help, I am learning the satisfying and never-ending process of the craft of writing.”
— J. Michael Gospe, M.D.

Jordan is not only a wonderful editor, but also a superb and nurturing teacher. When she finds a pattern of irregular writing within my work, she educates me about why it is incorrect usage in a nonjudgmental way and tells me not only how to recognize the problem, but also how to fix it to make it better. I unequivocally and resoundingly recommend Jordan Rosenfeld as the person you should choose. I cannot imagine using anyone else. She is my saint, the one who understands my needs and performs at a level unsurpassed.
— Saulander Evans, Author of Choices Born of Prophesy

“I want to thank Jordan for all her hard work and positivity on both the novel and screenplay version of “Know the Enemy.” I've been so impressed with her timeliness, thoroughness and excellent communication that I'd gladly tell anyone who asked that her service is excellent. “
— Jill A. Carlton, Author of Know the Enemy

“I opened the file with Jordan’s commentary and found that she did more than just edit this manuscript. She affirmed me. I just now got up the nerve to start reading her actual edit and I am so delighted that I barely know what to say. Jordan is brilliant and her feedback is deeply healing to me. I cannot thank her enough. She is worth more to me than I can ever pay.”
— Sylvia Peterson, author of Laura & Me, a Memoir
