Karen J. Renner
EDITING
SERVICES
I offer editorial support that respects your voice and strengthens your work. My approach is thoughtful, precise, and constructive, helping your writing reach its fullest potential.
-
Developmental Editing: Structure, narrative flow, character arcs, argument clarity
-
Line Editing: Sentence-level clarity, style, readability
-
Proofreading: Grammar, punctuation, consistency
Rates & Process: I generally charge by the hour for early clients to estimate scope accurately. A sample edit is available to assess timing and fit. Once projects scale, flat fees or per-word estimates are possible. All projects are treated confidentially, and I track hours carefully so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
COACHING
I work with writers at all stages—whether you’re exploring ideas, drafting a book, or navigating the publishing world. Together, we focus on developing your voice, clarifying your ideas, and building a sustainable writing practice.
