Standard Copyediting

We like to call it “intelligent spell-check.” An actual human editor looks over your manuscript to check for spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors that software programs just don’t have the context to catch. You’ll also be alerted to any potentially offensive or slanderous verbiage.

*This service does not include a manuscript import

$0.02/word
(min: $200.00)

Premium Copyediting

This goes more in-depth than the Standard Copyedediting, looking at word use, flow, and clarity to ensure your manuscript is professional and understandable.

*This service does not include a manuscript import

$0.04/word
(min: $490.00)

Content Editing

In addition to Premium Copyediting, your editor provides you with advice concerning the overall structure of the book. For fiction, this would include plot & character development. For non-fiction, this includes fact-checking and chapter order and structure.

Your quote will be determined by the complexity of the text, the editor’s assessment of how much revision is necessary, and how many half-hour consultation calls required.
