"Genevieve is an editor with the Midas touch!"
John Campbell
"Walk to Paradise Garden"
"Ms. Graham's editorial services exceeded my expectations in every way. With an eye on the current market and an ear for each writer's unique style and particular intentions, she is able to suggest revisions that honor artistic vision but anticipate appeal to an audience. She rewrote the synopses and query letters for my novel, and after reading her versions, even I was interested in the book I have read so many times! She is prompt and responsive and presents materials with the utmost professionalism. I will be happy to recommend her editorial services whenever the opportunity arises."

Line Copy Edits and Proofreading
I'm a stickler when it comes to punctuation, spelling, tenses, typos, run-on sentences and formatting. As I go through a manuscript I'll naturally work with clarification, plot, character development, dialogue and other important aspects. In many cases, a novel needs more than simple grammatical corrections. It often calls for added colour and flow (among other things), which can result in a dramatic re-working. The trick is to ensure the editor captures your voice and keeps it there. Your voice is the core of your work.
All fees are based on standard industry format of 8.5" x 11", 12 pt Times Roman type, double spaced, 1" margins.
Professional Critique
This is a full breakdown of your novel, including a professional analysis of Structure, Plot, Characterization, Setting, Grammar/Punctuation, and a short example of how editing would help your novel.
All fees are based on standard industry format of 8.5" x 11", 12 pt Times Roman type, double spaced, 1" margins.

Literary Agent Submission package:
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I will provide you with tools so you can go forward in your search on your own. You can spend piles of cash buying books on learning how to query, how to refine methods, or you could learn firsthand from me. As with everything in life, there is no success guaranteed in terms of finding an agent, but I can promise you will learn from me. Before I learned how to put together a proper Literary Agent Submission package, I received dozens of rejections. After I put one together I got another 59 ... and one very big Yes that led to a three book deal with Berkley/Penguin US.
- $600 flat rate (plus tax if applicable***)

Ghostwriting
- ranges from $10,000 Cdn to $50,000 Cdn, depending on the project.
When the book is complete, everything about it will be your property, including the copyright and all profits. (Some ghostwriters retain percentages, but I do not.)
Depending on the length of the novel, expect the editing process to take approximately two weeks to one month, though I have been known to do rush jobs!
