Services for Authors, Poets & Storytellers

I hold a degree in English with a concentration in Professional Writing and have experience editing interactive fiction manuscripts over 100,000 words in length, as well as poetry and poetry collections. I’m also a published poet and indie author. I specialize in line editing, copyediting, proofreading, and poetry feedback. Genres I prefer to work with: - Poetry (any) - Romance (open, closed, etc) - Supernatural, Omegaverse - Sports - Fantasy, Romantasy I am open to other genres as well.

Yes. Every project includes an agreement that outlines the scope of work, timeline, payment terms, revision policy, and mutual protections. It’s designed to keep both of us safe, clear, and aligned. If additional services are added during a project, we will revise and resign the contract.

Absolutely. For larger services (especially editing bundles), I offer flexible payment plans—usually 50/50 or split into 2–3 installments. I want to make professional editing accessible without financial stress. We can talk about other flexible payment options as well. Anything over $50 is available for a payment plan.

Yes! If your project doesn’t fit one of my listed services, I’m happy to create a custom quote based on your word count, needs, and timeline. Additionally, if you are interested but have a budget that is lower than my pricing that is listed, please still reach out. We can do a free consultation to identify your most needed services and create a quote and plan that work for you.

Yes! I offer free sample services for new clients, including: • A Poetry Sampler (up to 3 short poems) • A Mini Quote Pull from 1 chapter • A 1 Chapter Sample Edit for fiction (up to 1,500 words) You can request these through my Try Before You Buy page.

It depends on the project length and service level, but here are general ranges: Poetry services: 1 to 4 weeks, depending on scope. Quote pulls & content ideas: 3–7 business days Full manuscripts (full pass): typically 3–6 weeks depending on word count and depth. I’ll always provide an estimated delivery date before we begin. We will discuss timeline to understand if you have a pressing one. There could be a fee if it's very short turnaround but that's rare. The timeline we agree on will be in the contract as well.

You can: Fill out the project intake / quote form Request a free consult to talk things through Email me directly at vi@vwpublishing.com After we chat and agree on scope, I’ll send a contract, invoice, and timeline.

Yes, I do and it varies by the service. For editing, there are 2 revisions included. Please note, that doesn't cover a full manuscript. But the revisions can cover specific scenes or chapters that you would like another pass at. So, let's say for example, you got back the editing, made changes to chapter 3, 6, 8 - you can ask to review those again. Additional revisions can be booked at a reduced rate. Regarding back-and-forths & emailing, I am available for a period of 3 weeks after you receive the final version of your service. I want to ensure that your work is the best it can be and I aim to be a resource for you! After the 3 week period, you can purchase additional consulting time.
