"Authors are only as good as their editors. I know that for a fact! Chloe has provided me with an invaluable service—polishing the stone I created so that it shines. She is also a joy to work with! I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for editorial or publishing design services."
J.L. Witterick, international best-selling author of My Mother's Secret and It Was Always Her
"Shout out to Chloe Faith Edits for her support. Every author needs a great editor. Thank you for helping me make this project a reality. This would not be happening without her! THE best editor ever. I love working with her!"
Libana Kissab, author of The Perfect Men
"Any business owner knows how many hats are required to succeed. Chloe's services helped my brand take away the stress and unknown of writing high quality copy in order to bring in potential clients. This saved me many hours I was wasting, so I could focus on growing my business. I highly recommend her."
Broden McMillen, King St. Social
“I highly recommend Chloe Faith for all your editing needs. As a debut author, I had a million questions. Chloe patiently walked me through each one and helped me step by step on the road to producing my first novel. Did I mention the incredible book cover she designed for me? Wow! After this great experience, I have now started my second novel and look forward to using her wonderful services again. Chloe Faith is a true blessing!"
Timothy Scott Smith, author of Nine Sanctions
"I’m so lucky I had the chance to work with Chloe! I can’t remember where I or how I found her through my Instagram or Google searches but truly so lucky I landed on her work. She created such a beautiful workbook off of my notes, I’ll be honest I went through a couple of editors for the job and none of them clicked till her! Appreciate all the work she's done! Can’t wait for my next project to hire her again!"
Kennidy Hassell, author of Mindset to Market: The Wedding Creative's Guide to Booking More Clients
"Chloe Robinson has proven to be extremely valuable to our company. We can always rely on Chloe’s high quality and professionalism when proofreading, editing or writing new articles. Always 100 percent effort, great attitude and a pleasure to work with."
Bernard Joseph, Canada Christian Business Directory
"Chloe’s astute observations allowed me to stand back and look more objectively at my work. She has that rare gift of understanding the key elements of plot and character building, and the ability to communicate improvements with great tact and clarity. I so enjoyed the tremendous learning arc I experienced while working with her. Both my novel and I are the better for knowing her!"
Gwen K. Harvey, author of The Acquisition of Elizabeth Grace
"Chloe's editorial review of my book was so warm, so personal, it felt as if we’d
known each other for years. I am deeply, deeply
appreciative. In addition, I cannot tell you how much it means to hear from someone who enjoys my humor. The fact Chloe enjoyed my
book, when she no doubt reads hundreds, means the world to me."
Vicki Spandel, author
"I never got the best grades in English, so it was a must that I had someone write my professional content for my business. Not only do I associate Chloe with copywriting, but I just knew she'd be the right fit to verbally illustrate my brand identity. She is witty, professional, structured, has the best grammar, and a million other things I wish I was. I will continue to use Chloe for all projects and would encourage anyone looking for a copywriter/ editor as well."
Mikayla Rugala, The Loft Queen
"Launching a publishing house, there are mistakes made, constant decisions to make, and constant fires to put out. But Chloe handles everything with such professionalism. So, the one mistake I’m confident that I did NOT make is hiring Chloe Robinson. From editing to designing to pitching our titles to our sales reps at Canadian Manda Group she is fearless and her work ethic knows no bounds! RE:BOOKS Publishing wouldn’t be a success story without her!"
Rebecca Eckler, international 10x bestselling author and founder/publisher of RE:BOOKS Publishing
"I highly recommend Chloe for all of your editing services! She is professional, timely and very helpful.
I had a last-minute editing request for a 4600-word book and her amazingly quick turnaround along with the great suggestions were superb! I am very happy with the editing!
Harpreet Matharu, Author of I AM Prepared! Allergy and Asthma Adventures with Harp
Hi there!
My name is Chloe. I'm a passionate, award-winning, and detail-oriented literary editor. Currently based in Toronto, I freelance both independently and for various publishers, including KOBO Originals, RE:BOOKS Publishing, RavenCrest Publishing, and FriesenPress. With a robust background in editorial, design, and publishing, and over fifteen traditionally published books under my belt, I've collaborated extensively with authors and publishers across North America and Europe. In 2024, I co-founded CANREADS, a literary start-up that supports publishers, authors, agents, and publicists with professional blurbs, reviews, and awards.
My educational foundation includes an Honours BA in General Humanities from Brock University, an Honours BA in English Literature from Toronto Metropolitan University, and a Graduate Certification in Book and Magazine Publishing from Centennial College.
I specialize in editing fiction (contemporary, romance, psychological thriller) and memoirs. I can edit to Canadian, American, or UK Standard English.
When I'm not editing, I like to travel to new countries and stay active with workout classes, tennis, bike rides, and runs. Oh, and I also take way too many pictures of my dogs and cat. Sorry, not sorry.

Editorial Portfolio
Editorial Services and Rates
Developmental Editing
Developmental editing is a thorough review of a manuscript's content, structure, and coherence. It addresses plot, character development, pacing, and thematic consistency. The goal is to refine the manuscript's overall narrative, enhancing clarity, engagement, and effectiveness before proceeding to copyediting and proofreading. I recommend this as a first step for manuscripts. Free sample edit for 1500 words.
~$0.035-0.040/word
Proofreading
Proofreading is a final review of a manuscript to catch minor errors such as typos, misspellings, punctuation issues, and formatting inconsistencies. It occurs after copyediting and aims to ensure a polished, error-free document for publication, focusing on fine details and adherence to style and layout guidelines. Free sample edit for 1000 words.
~$0.015-0.020/word
Copywriting and Journalism
As a copywriter, I create compelling and persuasive written content for various media, including advertisements, websites, marketing materials, and more. Copy aims to engage and influence the audience and promote products or services. I also write, research, and report news stories and features for various newspapers, magazines, and websites. Topics vary. Check out my portfolio for a few examples of my previously published copy and articles.
Flat rate, varies project by project.
Line Editing
Line editing is a detailed review of the manuscript's language and writing style. Editors focus on sentence-level improvements, including grammar, syntax, word choice, and clarity. The goal is to enhance readability, fluency, and the overall quality of the prose while preserving the author's voice. I typically combine this service with a full standard copyedit. Free sample edit for 1500 words.
~$0.032-0.038/word
Comprehensive Edit
My comprehensive editorial service is ideal for authors on a budget who need guidance with both structural and stylistic concerns, combining all essential editing services. This package includes line and copyediting, along with light developmental revisions to improve clarity, flow, and reader engagement. A 1,000-word sample edit is provided free of charge, and I offer 1 or 2 rounds of revisions.
~$0.035-0.040/word
Book Cover Design
I specialize in creating affordable book cover designs for authors. With over ten traditionally published book covers and numerous self-published projects under my belt, I bring a wealth of experience to every design. My background as a Managing Editor gives me a unique insight into printer requirements, editing software, and the elements of visually appealing and well-aligned covers.
Flat rate, varies project by project, but on average, costs are expected to be between $300-$450.
Copyediting
Copyediting is a meticulous review of a manuscript for grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency in style and formatting. It ensures that the text is error-free and adheres to established language conventions, making it clear, precise, and ready for publication while maintaining the author's intended meaning and tone. Fact-checking may be included. Free sample edit for 1000 words.
~$0.028-0.032/word
Editorial Assessment
During an editorial assessment, I act as an alpha/beta reader and provide a general readers report, with helpful marketing and sales information for your manuscript. This includes:
- Synopsis
- Marketing keywords
- BISAC codes
- Strengths and weaknesses
- Editorial services recommended
Flat fee of $350 for manuscripts up to 75,000 words. Additional fee for larger projects. This is highly recommended for first time authors.
45-Minute Consultation Call
Looking to pick my brain about publishing, the editorial process, recommendations, and specific advice? Personalized action plans, troubleshooting, mentorship, creative feedback—This service is for you.
This service differs from my free 20 minute consultation call, during which I can outline my editorial services and answer any questions you have based on the services I provide. I will not answer specific questions about your manuscript during the free consultation.
$90 flat rate
Please note that the rates listed are my average prices, but an official quote for your individual work will be determined upon a brief examination of the work to be edited. Some texts are more complex than others, which would require higher rates.
I am always open to price negotiation with authors. 15% discount to returning clients.
FAQS
Prices will vary with each project based on the difficulty of the text, the length, and the services utilized. I always try my best to create multiple quotes and packages for authors, and I'm always open to negotiation to work within their budget.
Please refer to my average starting rates on the services page.
