Manuscript Editing

The finishing touch . . .


Sometimes all a manuscript needs is a final edit to bring it up to publication standards.

Today's busy literary agent or editor won't read past the first page of your manuscript if it's littered with typos, punctuation errors, misspellings, or poor sentence structure. Instead, the agent or editor will heave a sigh, toss your manuscript into the "Reject" box, and reach for the next one from the stack on his desk.

You don't want your hard work dismissed so casually, do you?

I'll fix the errors, polish the prose, and create a new manuscript in both electronic and printed form. You'll have a manuscript you can be proud of, and the literary agent or editor will be impressed. All those other manuscripts will have to wait.

My fee for manuscript editing ranges from $35 to $45 per thousand words, depending on how much work is needed. Minimum fee is $2,500. Turnaround time is usually eight to ten weeks. After reading your manuscript, I can tell you exactly what the editing will cost and when it will be completed.
