A Free Sample Edit

Reputable editors offer sample edits, giving either a free sample edit, or a sample edit for a modest cost, much below the actual value of the edit.

A sample edit is good for the client and good for the editor.

A writer benefits from a sample edit.

• The writer gets a professional's comments on the client's own work.
• The writer has a taste of what it's like to work with an editor.
• The writer has evidence of how this particular editor works.

The editor benefits from the sample edit.

• The writer is more likely to hire the editor, giving the editor more business.
• The editor understands what services the writer will benefit from.

My own free sample edit fell victim to my success as an editor. But I still do sample edits. 

Now I charge a modest fee as one step in sifting out writers who are not serious about their writing, but leaving me able to offer quality sample edits for those who are.
