Editing costs are based on word count and are rounded up to the next 100. For example, if your manuscript is 70,001 words and you choose both line and developmental edits, the word count will be rounded up to 70,100, and the total cost for your project will be $701.
Do you edit projects over 100,000 words?
Yes! We are happy to announce that due to our changing schedules, we are now able to provide editorial services for manuscripts of any size.
What genres do you edit?
While we specialize in mysteries, thrillers, and horror novels, we are happy to edit projects in any genre.
When can you get started on my project?
Because we guarantee a three-week turnaround, we try to limit the number of clients we take on in a given month to provide the most thorough results possible.
