Editing & Feedback Services

I’m a writer first. That’s why my edits aren’t performative or precious—I know what it’s like to sit with a draft that’s not quite working and to need someone who sees the real thing inside the mess.

If you want clarity, sharpness, and a ruthless-but-loving edit that makes your work better without sanding off your voice—this is for you.

  • Quick & Dirty Feedback: Gut-level read. $75 for up to 1,000 words. $0.03/word for longer pieces.

  • Deep Dive Edit: Developmental edit. $150 for up to 3,000 words. $0.05/word for longer pieces.

  • Final Polish: Line edit. $100 for up to 1,500 words. $0.045/word for longer pieces.

  • Add-on Zoom call: Discuss questions and next steps. $50 for a 30-minute call.

  • To book: Email me at lori [at] loriwriteswords.com with your word count and the feedback you’re looking for. I’ll reply with a timeline and payment info.

The Fine Print

  • One round of feedback included per edit. If you want a second look or a revision check, we’ll scope that separately.

  • Pricing is per project, based on word count. You’ll get a clear quote before we begin—no surprises.

  • Full payment required to book your spot

  • Rush rates available on request

  • No guarantees of publication. I’ll help you make the piece stronger, sharper, and more you—but I can’t promise how editors or agents will respond.

  • 48-hour notice required for cancellation/refund eligibility

  • I reserve the right to decline projects that aren’t a good fit. No hard feelings—it’s about making sure we’re aligned.
