Sample Edits
The Sample Solves All
Not sure if we’ll be a good fit?
Don’t know what level of editing your book needs?
That’s exactly what the sample edit is for.
How does a sample edit work?
-
You send 20–30 pages of your book (preferably from the middle) in a Word document.
-
Using Track Changes, I line edit the first 5 pages and leave in-text comments on up to 20 pages.
-
If it’s a fit, I’ll include a quote for a full edit when I return the sample. If it’s not a fit, I’ll refer you to other editors I know and trust who might be a better fit.

Clay Vermulm, Author
Adina helped me find everything from comma splices to flat dialogue and character inconsistency. After just two rounds of editing with EdelmanEdits, I feel far more confident in my story than I ever imagined I could.
Adina Kagan, Author
Working with Adina was an absolute pleasure. Her attention to detail was phenomenal, and the suggestions were always creative and on target. What I appreciated most was her respectful and professional demeanor throughout the process.
