Edits
“Easy reading is damn hard
writingediting.”
– Nathaniel Hawthorne
I’m an editor who approaches each project with a reader’s perspective. Whether it’s a book, an article or a blog entry, I’d love the chance to walk alongside you as you work to tell your story in the most powerful way possible.
Here’s what I offer:
- Content editing: This is the most in-depth form of editing. What’s the core message? How should this story be told? What’s missing from your work?
- Copy editing: This phase helps improve physical formatting, stylistic consistency and fact-checking. This can be anything from grammar checks to restructuring (or cutting) text.
- Proofreading: This is usually the last step in the writing/editing process and involves getting rid of cosmetic errors. It’s the final run-through to catch any problems with your content.

Rates depend entirely on the project. Send an email to scribbledrevisions@gmail.com and we can go from there.
Hi Todd! I read some info about you in a recent email article from Trinity Western Univ. I’m a grad of TWU also (one of the more “mature” type of grad :)). I’m also a writer. I had four stories published in an anthology of grief last year.
In time I will need the services of an editor. I know a couple editors but they live outside BC.
I retired last year from Fraser Health Authority as a Spiritual Care Practitioner.
Right now, I’m working on a short story, a book idea and a couple workshops.
I’m wondering if you are still in the local area. I live in Deroche, just east of Mission.
If you can let me know what your rates are I could then budget when I need editing services.
Take care for now,
Alan Anderson
Hi! Yes I am in the Langley area still. Great to connect. If you send an email to scribbledrevisions@gmail.com I can share with you there about my rates and such. 🙂
Ok, Todd, will do.
