Whether you need help developing an idea or a full line edit to prepare a book for submission or publication, we can help you. Costs range from $300 for a detailed evaluation of an outline and sample chapters to $3,000 for a heavy manuscript edit (two passes including an editorial letter, conferences, and a line edit of your revised manuscript). Most books are $500 to $1,500, depending on the complexity and length of the book and the services required. (You'll get a specific quote before the job is begun, after I've had a look at the manuscript and spoken with you about different publishing options.) I also provide design and typesetting services for authors who wish to self-publish, and can help you steer clear of scammers. Additionally, I offer a range of inexpensive workshops for writers who need help finishing a book or want guidance on specific publishing topics.
