Welcome to Grim Reader Editing!
Lay your grammar and punctuation worries to rest.
Grim Reader editing focuses on copyediting and proofreading at the line level of your manuscript, checking grammar, punctuation, continuity, typos, and awkward syntax (i.e. when bad things happen to good sentences). Whether you're publishing independently or seeking traditional publication, give your project a final polish before it goes out into the world.

I offer three editing packages. For questions and/or scheduling availability, please email Sharon at grimreaderediting@gmail.com.
Beta Read: 0.2 cents/word
The level of notes you'd get from an engaged, thorough reader. This read includes developmental notes but not an in-depth revision plan. Copy edit notes would identify recurring issues once, rather than marking each instance.
Proof Read: 0.3 cents/word
Mechanics only
Full Copy Edit: 0.4 cents/word
Line by line notes focusing on continuity, syntax, grammar, punctuation, and typos as well as limited beta read notes on larger literary issues
Words from Happy Haunts
When it comes to editing, you want the deft pen of Sharon Pegram. From proofreading to substantive editing, she’ll help tell your stories the way you want, keeping your voice and style intact while skillfully pointing out the pesky errors that may be holding back your manuscript.
Pegram is a writer’s editor; I loved her work when we shared manuscripts as children’s writers and I knew when I finished my adult fiction novel that she was the editor for me. Her edits were thoughtful and accurate, and she was available to explain any question I had. Excellent attention to detail, quick turn-around, and a thoroughly positive experience! I’ll be using Grim Reader Editing and relying on Sharon Pegram’s pen for the next book in The Ladies of SPI cozy mystery series!
~Catherine C. Hall, Author, SECRETS LAID TO REST
Sharon is a treasure! Her copy editing and proofreading are top-notch, and her attention to detail
is unparalleled. She also has an innate sense of story. Her feedback is incredibly valuable and
polishes my manuscript to a brilliant shine. She’s easy to work with and patient and kind. Her
edits and feedback refine the manuscript without infringing on the author’s voice. She’s quite
simply the ideal editor!
