Description:
<div>A developmental edit of your book is the equivalent of a semester MFA class with the professor's full attention—without having to read and give feedback on the other students' work. <span style="font-weight: bold;">A well-edited manuscript is a valuable step toward publication and an investment in your writing career.</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br>This article I wrote for The Writers Bloc explains why professional editing is expensive: <br><br><a target="_blank" href="http://thewritersbloc.net/make-professional-editing-work-you">Make Professional Editing Work For You</a></div><br><div>Whether you choose me or another editor, <span style="font-weight: bold;">a sample edit is essential.</span> As the author, you need someone in whom you're confident, and whose feedback rings true in your writing heart. Some editors do free sample edits; I do not, because you will get more than your money's worth of editing from the sample, and it's an hour I spend 100% focused on you. <br></div><div><br></div><div>You'll receive 5 pages with comments and line edits, plus a detailed quote of what I recommend, why, how much, and how long it will take.</div><div><br></div><div><a target="_blank" href="https://rebirthyourbook.as.me/sampleedit">Click here to book a Sample Edit ($95)</a></div><br><br><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Project Rates</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Manuscript Evaluations</span> of up to 80,000 words are $1650; additional words are .02/word. This is a light developmental edit of your entire manuscript, including margin comments throughout, about 10 pages of line editing to show editing suggestions in action, and a 3-5 page editorial letter with an overview of what's working and what challenges can be addressed. Your Manuscript Evaluation also includes a Work Plan with suggested steps for moving into your next draft, and a 60-minute follow-up call to discuss the feedback.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Honestly, my Manuscript Evaluation is as thorough as many other editors' developmental edits, but my full developmental edit is such a monster I needed to call this something else. Seriously, this is plenty for most writers to get to work on major improvements, and you probably don't need to spend more.<br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Full Developmental Edits</span> begin at $.035/word, based on how much work is needed. A Full Developmental Edit includes about 25 pages of line editing, more explanation of every type of edit, more comments per page, a 15-20 page editorial letter with a Work Plan, and a 60-minute follow-up call.<br></div><br><a href="https://unkindeditor.com/cost/edit.htm?IGNOFRAME=True#">Find out more about getting started with a full manuscript edit</a><br><br><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Office Hours</span></div><div>This is your time!
