Editing Services
In addition to Coaching authors to write purpose-driven books I provide editing services as a stand-alone service. Depending upon my schedule and the size of your book, you can have your manuscript edited within 10 business days.
Book Editing – Basic:
- Nonfiction books (either intended for paper or eBook distribution) edited for spelling, grammar, punctuation and syntax. Also make suggestions to sentence structure and word choice.
- My fee begins at $3.00 per 300 words (approximately one double-spaced page), depending upon how much editing is needed. Example: a 60,000 word document (around 200 typed double-spaced pages) would run $600.00.
Developmental Editing:
With my background of 37 years as a top legal secretary/paralegal and editing books since 2005, it is almost impossible for me to not do developmental editing as I edit a book. If you have completed your manuscript and and feel you have made all the revisions you feel are necessary, a fresh look at your manuscript by me can identify and pull together the structure and missing pieces.
- Developmental editing services are done on a project-by-project basis. After an initial review of the state of your manuscript I will give you a quote for your project.
- The minimum fee is $1,000 for a 200 page book (60,000 words). Shorter books are charged around $5 per page (300 words).
The turnaround time depends upon the extent of revisions to your manuscript and my schedule. Therefore, if you are getting close to finishing up your manuscript, it is best to contact me now to obtain your quote and to reserve your spot in my schedule.
Contact me via email for further information and to obtain my editing services. One-half payment due to begin, balance due upon completion. Kathy@PurposeDrivenAuthors.com
