Need an Editor?

Manuscript Coaching

I am offering a new service where I will read over your manuscript and provide you with an objective opinion, offering advise and coaching you along toward a better, marketable book.

This service does not include editing. See below for editing fees.

1 – 43,999 words – $40

44,000 – 90,000 words – $50

90,000 – 110,000 words – $60

Please email me at adoptingjames@aol.com for more information.

Editing and Proofreading Services

Sometimes getting published is the difference between an edited manuscript and an unedited manuscript. Don’t let success pass you by just because you choose to skip this all-important step. As an author myself, I realize that parting with money before your big break seems costly.

But would you rather part with a little money now and get published sooner, or save a little money just to keep getting rejected for the next three, five, or ten years? Or think of it this way: If you’re refusing to pay for a professional editor, you’re actually paying for rejections!

For fiction manuscripts of all genres except romance or erotica:
1 – 43,999 words – $225
44,000 – 53,999 words – $250
54,000 – 63,999 words – $300
64,000 – 73,999 words – $375
74,000 – 83,999 words – $475
84,000 – 93,999 words – $575
94,000 – 103,999 words – $650
104,000 – 113,999 words – $750
114,000 – 123,999 words – $875
124,000 – 133,999 words – $1,000

 

For proofreading, $0.06/word (negotiable).

    Hi Andrew & Sarabeth! Just came out of the hospital (you can read about what happened to me on my blog- mikelimon.wordpress.com) so I am glad to be here! I recently went back and read the “If Only” post. I made a comment on it. I disagree with the author’s belief that we continue to sin because of unbelief. We continue to sin because of the weakness of our flesh. Otherwise, it was a very interesting article. I enjoy your site, and have to find more time in my daily schedule to stop by and read all the posts! Thanks for allowing this write to share his opinion. Take care you two.

    All my best,
    Mike Limon

  21. I charge about the same, maybe a little more. Not enough, is it, for all the work? Yet it seems to be the limit that most people will pay.

    was surely looking for editing but can noit afford to pay. Yes, if the book sells, ur efforts will not go unrewarded

    I’ll consider it – mind you, I need to actually start cracking down on the thing, and I won’t have any idea how long it will be: though the pre-production statistics show it’ll be a biiit on the expensive side. Thank God for work, right mate?
