EDITING SERVICESWe
hold a high level of expectation for the books we edit. When you work with our
team, you will receive a professionally edited book that you can shop to a literary
agent or publisher or self-publish.
Our topnotch editors have edited scores of books that
have been published by the big publishing houses in New York, including
Random House and Simon & Schuster. Please review their credentials.
We will choose the editor who we believe is the best fit for your
project.
The process for editing non-fiction is as follows:
Once an editor has been assigned to your project, she or her will
look over your manuscript (electronic file), and create a plan for
your book. We will get the plan to you, based on your responses
to our questions on our Application form. We will provide you with
an estimate for costs, based on your goals and the needs of your
book.
Phase 1 typically consists of a Read Through of the
entire book and a Written Analysis. If the chapters, or parts of
chapters, are out of order and the sequencing is off, the editor
will need to do at least one round of developmental editing to put
the sections in their rightful order before she can do the line
editing where she will polish the text.
At the end of Phase 1, the editor will provide an
estimate for Phase 2, which consists of any necessary developmental editing (putting
things in their proper sequence), followed by the line editing (polishing text). Phase
2
We can usually edit 4-6 pages per hour when polishing
text. Putting material in its proper order can take time. Everybody's
writing is different, which means that some projects will go faster
than others, depending on the strength of the writing.
If you believe that your material is in its
right sequence, the editor will skip the Read Through and Written Analysis in
Phase 1 and jump into polishing the text. After the book has been edited, we recommend
a final proofreading round with one of our proofreaders to make sure all typos
have been caught and that punctuation is correct. The
process for editing fiction is as follows: First, the editor will read through
the entire manuscript. She will then provide an analysis of the material that
states what the book needs. At this point, an estimate for the work, including
developmental editing, character development, and line editing can be given. All
editing services are paid upon retainer in increments. Please contact
us for rates and details. We accept all major credit cards and checks.
