Providing accessible and inclusive editing services, so you can share your story with the world.
I offer developmental edits and line edits for fiction, specializing in middle grade, young adult, and adult audiences for science fiction, fantasy, and romance. I work on books, short stories, web copy, newsletters, and other writing.
My credentials include courses and intensives: Three Pass Editing with Liz Pelletier of Entangled Publishing, Before Your Hit Send with Angela James, and Amethyst Symposium on Freelance Editing with The Writer’s Sanctuary. Sample pages available upon request.
A great option for writers in the concept or early drafting phases.
You submit your story’s outline and the first 10 pages. I will assess your outline for pacing, plot, and tension and provide a line edit on the first 10 pages to highlight any craft issues for you. Feedback will be given as in-document comments on the first 10 pages and up to 2 pages of notes regarding the outline.
Package Rate: $100 USD
Addressing the Big Picture of your Manuscript
A developmental edit is a deep assessment of your full story for content and issues of character deveopment, pacing, consistency, worldbuilding, and other big-picture items.
When your scheduled time arrives, you will email me your full manuscript as a Word document. I will read through your manuscript and provide feedback through in-document comments and an edit letter of several pages which will cover everything I found in your manuscript that works, and suggestions for how to strengthen your work.
Turn around is 2-4 weeks. After your edit is complete, I am available for email questions as they pertain to the issues I found for up to four weeks. 30 minute Zoom consultations are also available for an additional fee.
Package Rate: Developmental Edits are $0.01/word USD
A Micro-Look at Your Manuscript
A line edit is a more micro look at your writing. It’s a line-by-line look at voice, grammar, consistency, and style. This level of edit is meant to be an adjustment and polish after your manuscript has been through developmental editing and revisions.
When your scheduled time arrives, you will email me your work as a word document. I will edit and comment directly in your document so that you can review my suggestions. I will also provide an edit letter covering any bigger picture or recurring issues I found.
Turn around is 2-4 weeks. After your edit is complete, I am available for email questions as they pertain to the issues I found for up to four weeks. 30 minute Zoom consultations are also available for an additional fee.
Package Rate: Line edits are $0.01/word USD.
A Discount Package for Full Editorial Services
This is a discount package for booking both developmental and line edits with me. Please note that this package needs to be booked in advance and cannot be added to a developmental edit after the fact.
The process is the same as described for developmental and line edits, with the developmental edits taking place first, followed by the line edits.
I will complete the pass of developmental edits and provide full feedback, after which you have 90 days to complete your revisions and resubmit your manuscript for line edits. If your word count increases significantly before line edits, additional charges may apply.
Package Rate: The Developmental + Line Edit Packages is $0.018/word USD.

I am also available for smaller projects such as short stories (under 10k), web copy, bios, newsletters, synopses, etc. Prices will depend on length and complexity of project. Click below to send me the details of the project and receive a quote.

There is no application process and no booking deposit is required.
Need some additional help?
If, after your edits, you require more guidance and help that wasn’t covered in your edit, or if you want additional suggestions or feedback to get you unstuck, you can book a follow-up Zoom chat. For 30 minutes we can bounce ideas around and problem-solve your story.
30 minute Zoom Consultations are an add-on for package clients only and are $50 USD.
Andria's feedback has given me some great ideas of how to add my voice into my characters, and I think it gives me a better understanding of my own writing as well.
I really appreciated that Andria seemed to understand the heart of my story, and all her feedback was an encouragement to make it even better, not to change it.
From the beginning, Andria conveyed the feeling that we were on the same team trying to make this book better. The edit letter is also a good list of things I can add to my own self-editing workflow. I really appreciate that capacity-building approach from editors.
It was a great amount of feedback, in-depth without being overwhelming. The suggestions were all necessary, actionable items that polished my manuscript to a beautiful shine! Any critique is hard to read, of course, but there was plenty of positivity to go along with it. I appreciated the mix.
These notes made me feel like my voice was appreciated and honoured. I will definitely be using Andria’s services again in the future, as well as directing people to her as often as possible.
From the very beginning of the edit letter, I knew my authorial voice and the vison on the [story] were mine alone. All feedback and suggestions were made while keeping this in mind. Not once did I feel as though my voice was being overridden.
I loved working with Andria, who clearly has a love for storytelling and the knowledge to help others tell the best story they can!
Editing with Andria Henry was a dream. Her critique style worked wonderfully for my neurodivergent brain; It never felt overwhelming or unmanageable, but rather inspirational and achievable... The whole process became a fun endeavor that I genuinely enjoyed... and I highly recommend her services.
