Additional Editing Services
I provide services to improve any form of writing for both individuals and business owners. However, I have a special place in my heart for working with fiction books, especially thrillers, mysteries, and contemporary fiction. I am open to work outside of these genres. These are my favorites to read and so the genres I am the most familiar with. I do not work with stories that contain horror, gore, or abuse.
Course Consulting
This service is perfect for an individual or small business that is creating an online course for employees or customers to access and learn something. This service is highly personalized. First we will need to chat to determine what is needed for your course consulting package. You will receive both an editor’s and prior educator’s review of your work. Items I can help you with include:
- The course outline based upon your overall goal for the course. Helping to ensure your objectives are met in a logical way.
- Course design and development (I can help you brainstorm or design engaging materials to reach your course objectives).
- Course maintenance or revision (for a course that has already been launched but needs to be rethought or touched up).
- This service begins at $35 per hour, but the rate may differ depending on the unique needs for your project.
Monthly Editing Subscription
This service is for the small business owner who wants to reach their audience through professionally written materials. Materials could include emails, newsletters, social media posts, menus, and more. Together we will set up a schedule that works for us to determine when and how often you will send your written materials to me to edit. I will ensure your material is edited to be clear, concise, well organized, and ready to reach your audience while maintaining your unique voice. Then I will return your material for you to share.
There are two options for this subscription service:
- Small Package: 2 posts per week for $50 a month (total of 8 posts)
- Large Package: 5 posts per week for $100 a month (total of 20 posts)
Subscription services are billed monthly.

FAQ
What style guide do you use?
I have training with the Chicago Manual of Style but have experience with APA style as well. I can adhere to other style manuals and in-house style guides as necessary.
What markup tools are used?
I utilize the Track Changes function in Microsoft Word. I insert comments and queries throughout the text as I work that you can reply to or address when you receive the copy.
What type of files do you work with?
I work with files in Microsoft Word.
How will we communicate while working together?
I am comfortable speaking on the phone, emailing, or meeting via a video call. Whichever method you are most comfortable with. I will maintain communication with you throughout our time working together via email for updates and quick questions. However, we may find a phone call or video call to be more conducive for our first meeting to discuss the project or later in our work for our collaborative consultation during the editing process.
Testimonials
“I’m very grateful to know Mrs. Wheeless, she is my life savior from now on. I am the owner of a little bakery, English is not my first language which makes it difficult for me to communicate with people in an effective and clear way. My goal is to send a clear message through words to our customers so they can relate with us. Here is when Mrs. Wheeless comes to play such an important role, besides I am learning from her as well while working together. So grateful for her professionalism, knowledge, support and presence in my business communications journey if you will. Thank you very much, Claudia”
