Whether you choose to self-publish, or seek publishing through a local or major publishing house, proper editing is a must. For authors looking to publish on their own, it is that much more important. Books presented by self-published authors are often automatically held to a lower standard than writers that sign with larger publishing houses due to a slew of poorly produced novels in the past through the avenue of self-publishing. I seek to help raise the bar of what can be expected from authors by providing them with quality editing to help them polish their works based on decades of experience in the field. If self-published authors wish to be held in the same esteem as those publishing through the traditional route, they must take pains to make sure that their work is made to the same standards.
For authors that do go through a traditional publisher, it is helpful to have your work edited before you attempt to submit it to an agent or publishing house from whom you may be trying to attract attention.
I offer thorough corrections for storybooks or manuscripts, essays, and more. I run the whole gambit of editing services, such as reviewing for writing conventions like proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc., as well as for plot or character cohesion, chronology etc. The whole spectrum is covered, and the eiditing is done digitally. I also attach a page with overall impressions and tips for issues that may have been repeated or glaring, or things that might have worked particularly well in your story. The length of time expected for editing depends largely on the page count of the manuscript and the type and number of errors/corrections that need to be made. To get a good idea, authors can contact me to request that a sample of their work be edited, which will allow me to give a prospective client a workable timeline.
Rates are based on a page count that is double-spaced, with a 12 point font of Arial or Times New Roman. For manuscripts of under 300 pages, the cost will be $2.00 CAD per page. For longer books, we can discuss a specific price for your work.
Digital copies should be sent as a Word doc. file, and can be sent via email to [email protected]. Your manuscript will be edited and returned the same way. Please contact me prior to sending me your manuscript, and include the author's name and book title in the subject line.
For storybook, essay, or short story editing, the general cost is a flat rate of $20.00 CAD for a piece of work that is 10 pages or less, that meet the same guidelines of double spacing and font size as outlined above.
