EDITORIAL SERVICES
Our first step in preparing your book for publication is the Editing process. We desire not only that people buy your book, but that they also enjoy the read and refer it to others. Our Editorial Services are geared towards providing the best read for those who will purchase your book. We begin with:
MANUSCRIPT REVIEW $250.00
The MANUSCRIPT REVIEW provides feedback from one of our editors after reading a little of the beginning, middle, and end of your manuscript. At the completion of this review, you will receive:
A one page unbiased, constructive review of your manuscript detailing its strengths and suggested areas of improvement.
A recommendation indicating the editing service recommended to prepare your manuscript for publication.
A 250-word sample edit of a page or two of your book using the editing service recommended. The time frame for completion of this review is two weeks.
The MANUSCRIPT REVIEW is completed to determine what level of editing your manuscript requires. The cost of your recommended Editorial Service will be determined and provided after your MANUSCRIPT REVIEW has been completed.
EDITING SERVICES
BASIC COPY-EDITING ~ $0.25 PER WORD
This Editing Service focuses on the mechanics/rules of writing. If you purchase this service, your editor will thoroughly review your manuscript for errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and syntax. The Chicago Manual of Style Guide, the preferred style guide for the publishing industry is used. Some formatting such as blocks will be corrected.
LINE EDITING ~ $0.50 PER WORD
This Editing Service focuses on improving the flow and readability of your manuscript so that your message is clearly understood by the reader. Wordy or awkward sentences are rewritten, passive voice to active voice changes are made, paragraph and sentence length are readjusted, transitions between thoughts and chapters are strengthened. Line Editing also includes the services of a Basic Copy Edit.
DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING ~ $0.75 PER WORD
This Editing Service is our most comprehensive. Its goal is to make your book more marketable. Developmental Editing is for those who have a good idea, but need help organizing their material. Our process is two-fold:
First, we offer comments in the margin of your book draft indicating what changes need to be made to improve your book; and,
After you make the improvements and return the corrected draft to us, our editor completes a Line and Basic Copy Edit to make sure your book is ready for publication.
