FAQs

I don’t list prices on the site because the charge is different for every client. I price my projects based on what kind of editing a client wants and the length of their document. I have to take a look at a section of the manuscript or paper before I can recommend what kind of editing I believe is needed, but this doesn’t cost the client anything. Only after we agree to work together, agree on a fee, and a contract is signed do I begin counting my work time 

They will. A carefully crafted manuscript doesn’t guarantee publication, and stay away from anyone who tells you it will. But it’ll be much more likely to grab the eye of insanely busy publishing professionals. It will stand out. It will indicate less work might be needed to get the book in shape for publishing. And, even though you know you take what you do seriously—a thorough editing job lets others know too.

Good question. The answer? Companies like CreateSpace provide just that: services. Services are great, of course. One of their editors will check your manuscript and correct typos and run-on sentences. At a higher tier, they’ll evaluate structure and tell you all about it in what’s called an editorial letter. That’s good practice. What they won’t have time to do is learn about and respect the subtleties of your style, to guide you if you request it or affirm you when you need it. That takes a relationship.

Microsoft Word, please! I can also convert Google Docs to Word.

Yes. Yes, it is.
