The overall cost saving you will get from buying the entire package will be applied to the cost of the line edit. For example, if you decide (after purchasing an 8-week developmental critique on your 25k word novella) that you also want our line editing service, then the line edit will cost £183 rather than £227.
If you’re planning to invest in an entire package, we strongly advise — to get the most for your money — to undergo the processes in sequence. Thus, we’ll carry out a critique first and then proceed with the line edit on your amended draft. As far as possible, we will seek to complete critiques and line edits faster than the turnaround time slot allowed for.
Proofing costs
Proofing is carried out at £0.0025p per word. For example, a proof of a 75k manuscript will cost £187.50. I will turn these around on a 7-10 day basis, but I do need at least 2 weeks’ notice to arrange my calendar accordingly.
If you wish to follow your copyedit with a proofing service, then we will take 35% off the standard fiction proofing price.
Can you buy developmental editing and proofing packages?
Absolutely. If you choose to carry out the line and copyedit of your manuscript yourself (following a developmental critique) but wish to make sure that your final product is polished, then we will take 20% off the standard fiction proofing price.
What are the payment options?
We are happy to discuss retainer agreements or longer turnaround times for a lower price. Payments can be made through PayPal, BACS, or international banking transfers. Your invoice will provide the transfer details for all three options.
