How do you determine my editing fee?Our editing team will look over a 3,000-word sample during. Our editing consultation and provide sample edits and comments. Should you decide we're a good fit for you, your consultation fee will be subtracted from your final invoice. Editing start at $.02/word to for fiction and $.08/word for non-fiction. These prices are determined after looking at your sample and figuring out how much work will need to go into the manuscript. The best way to keep your editing fees low is to make sure your book is as clean as possible before professional editing. You'll also want to make sure your storyline is solid and doesn't have any major plot holes or development issues so you can avoid any major rewrites.

How long does it take to produce a book?The cover can be designed in a about a week. Editing can take anywhere from four to eight weeks depending on the length of the book, how much needs to be rewritten, and the amount of work the editors need to put into it. Please keep in mind, not all books are the same and cases may vary. Many times, it's up to the author as well. We have some clients who put projects on hold or just need more time than others. That's okay! We will work with you! Non-fiction generally takes the longest because the content editor must verify everything in the book to check for accuracy. Interior formatting can be completed in approximately a week. Never rush the production of your book; you'll be happy you took your time.
