What to Send:
In the first instance, please send an e-mail to elleturpittedits@gmail.com, including genre, overall word count and preferred currency for payment. Also ensure you send a 700 - 1,000 word sample. This will allow you to see exactly what I do, and the decision to proceed with be completely up to you.
You do not need an edit-ready manuscript if requesting a quote. As long as you have the estimated word count and a sample, you can get a quote. Please drop me an e-mail if you’d like to check availability for the near future.
Regarding Longer Works:
I am able to work on fiction of any length - I have previously worked on short stories, novellas, and novels.
If you are seeking a novella/novel edit, I am happy to do this in sections or as a full edit.

For Short Story Writers -
Short stories can be an excellent way to hone your writing skills, and I’ve worked with a number of writers who have focused purely on short stories. If your current focus is on short stories, I offer bundles for writers who want to send short fiction over regularly - this means an ongoing arrangement where you ‘bank’ words. For example, if you pay for 5k words but the story itself is 2,500, you can put the other 2,500 towards your next story, and so on. This can also work well for longer works, if you’re not looking to send the whole manuscript over as one. If you want to discuss this, please contact me via e-mail.
