Welcome to The Murphy Quill.

Developmental Editing

Big picture help for your book baby. I focus on structure, plot, pacing, character arcs, and story cohesion so your novel hits hard.

$0.02–$0.035 per word
Example: 80k novel = $1,600–$2,800

Line Editing

Let’s tighten those sentences and make every line sing. I smooth out awkward phrasing, enhance clarity and tone, and help your voice shine while preserving your unique vibe.

$0.01–$0.015 per word
Example: 80k novel = $800–$1,200

Proofreading

The final polish. I catch typos, grammar mistakes, punctuation errors, and sneaky formatting slips before you hit publish or query. Because details matter.
