Editorial Consulting
Hey, I’m Seth Kabala, a pro-copywriter with over 20 years in the biz, and I provide editorial consulting to individual creators, businesses, and non-profits.
What It Is
An Audit of Your Words
Editorial consulting audits your words (or your plan/outline for words you would like to write), finds gaps, and recommends improvements.
Why It Matters
Editing Solves Problems in Many Forms
Examples of this service include:
Reviewing your website landing pages for spelling, grammar, tone, and other general copyediting considerations
Surveying your article, speech, short story, or novel for narrative arc growth, story pacing, use of humor, voice, and character development
In short, if you want your words to be better, you need an editor.
What I Do
Giving Your Words the 3rd Degree
I’ll give your words the 3rd degree, interrogating them until I have answers to these questions (and many more):
Are your words readable?
Are they copyedited, clean, and error-free?
Are they achieving the goal you’ve set?
In sum, are your words as good as they could be?
If not, we need to talk.
Invest in Editorial Consulting
Don’t let your words out of interrogation until they’ve answered all your questions.

Pricing
For custom work that is not one of my Pre-Scoped Projects, I charge $75/hr. For rush work, I charge $100/hr (see below for more details).
Reasons to Work with Me
Decades of trusted service: I’ve been writing professionally since 2003. That’s 20 years (and counting) of trusted experience working for you.
Save time: Let me handle the editing, while you focus on what you do best: writing your stuff or running your business or non-profit.
Transparent process: With me, you're always in the loop. I provide you with regular updates and work product for review, ensuring the final deliverables align with your expectations.
Multifaceted experience: I’ve worked with a broad array of people and organizations, including creatives, numbers people, engineers, politicians, front of house, back of house, small business owners, local government officials, large corporation C-suites, consulting firms, churches, and state government officials, so chances are, I already have a good understanding of how you tick or how your operation runs. I just need project details from you.
Rush service: If desired, rush service is available for $100/hr. This service pushes you to the head of my production queue, guaranteeing delivery of your creative as soon as possible, which can reduce lead time from weeks to days.
What I Have Edited
I have a large editing portfolio with hundreds of pieces, including website landing pages, biographies, and regulatory copy (to name just a few examples).
Contact me to request samples.
Specs
Specs vary for custom work, but in general, these terms apply:
1 client-side subject matter expert (SME) who will provide facts and answer questions either in a live interview or through electronic communication
1 client-side point-of-contact, who will typically be the decision-maker/owner of this creative and may be (but is not required to be) the same person as the SME
Work-for-hire rights, meaning after you pay for this creative, you are considered to be the author/publisher and may do anything with it that you like, with one express grant: After accounting for any restrictions on confidential information that may be in force, you grant me the right to refer to these deliverables in my portfolio.
