Editorial Evaluation
A detailed evaluation of your manuscript, highlighting where the manuscript needs work. Specifically, it will focus on the storyline, readability of the manuscript, grammar, punctuation, and word use. An editorial evaluation report will be given citing SOME examples for each area, however, the evaluation should not be used to replace a full edit or proofread. The evaluation will also provide recommendations for any further editing services the manuscript may require.]
Price: $350.00 (minimum) – $700.00 (100 000+ words)
*Note: Editorial evaluation is prerequisite for the following services.
Copy/Line Editing
The manuscript will be checked for errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Syntax, word choice and light structural recommendations will also be made, and the editor will verify any cross references used, while imposing industry-standard style throughout. This will improve the overall readability of the manuscript.
Price: $0.025/ per word
Content Editing
Including everything in the copy/ line edit, the content edit will also ensure the accuracy and consistency of the content, and focus on more extensive sentence restructuring. Attention will be given to maintaining the consistency of details in the plot, characters and setting.
Price: $0.031/ per word
Proofreading
Even the best copy editors and authors can overlook or create mistakes unintentionally, and that is why this character by character proofread is highly recommended.
Price: $0.010/ per word
Quality Review
*Prerequisite: Content Edit
A content edit usually leads to extensive changes being made to a manuscript. Once you have implemented your corrections and reviewed your work, you may want your manuscript checked again to ensure you have made your changes correctly and haven’t created any new errors in the process. A quality review is highly recommended after a content edit.
Price: $0.010/per word
Editing Plus Package
The editing plus package is a great way to clean and polish your manuscript before it goes to publication. First, a copy/line edit or content edit will be done on your manuscript. After you have reviewed and implemented any changes, a quality review will be done to ensure that the changes were implemented properly, that no new errors resulted from making these changes, and that the manuscript is ready to be published. Two instrumental services for one low price. If you decide to purchase the Editing Plus package after you receive your editorial evaluation, a portion of editorial evaluation fee will be applied to your Editing Plus package purchase!
