Content Edit: $0.006 per word
The Content Edit combines a full line edit with content editing and involves at least three complete reads of your work. The main priority here is on structure, plot, characterization, continuity, grammar, syntax, spelling, voice, and pace. I use MS Word Track Changes for all of my changes so that you can see exactly what’s taken place. I’ll also leave comments in the margins so you get ideas on plot or other structural problems. The whole process will usually take a week, although that really depends on each unique work.

Full Line Edit: $0.004 per word
Line edits are what you want if your story is solid and your plot secure. I’ll go over your work line by line looking for grammar and spelling errors, repetition of words and word choice issues, capitalization and proper nouns, and more. Things such as dangling participles, comma splices, and split infinitives will be fixed, and I’ll give you suggestions on how to avoid this if you wish. Your text will have a thorough going over!

Editing Redrafts: $0.002 per word
Perhaps you’ve had an edit, changed some things, and now want one more sweep to catch any of those hard to find errors. I’ll happily go over your new work to make sure it’s in tip-top shape prior to publishing. This is also great if you only want to give me a few chapters or even passages from your book and not the whole thing.
Formatting: $50/50,000 words
If you need to get your book formatted for Amazon we can do that. Lots of times it only takes a few hours to do this. If you need your book formatted for Smashwords this is a bit more difficult and will therefore take longer. Contact me if you have a non-fiction book with pictures. I’ve put up lots of these and know their particular problems quite well.
That's a lot of services, but I've put enough books together and up on Amazon that it's easy now. For more information or to discuss your work in progress, or finished work, contact me and we'll get the ball rolling.
Novel Writing
Sometimes people pay me to ghostwrite novels for them. These will usually be in the 30,000 to 40,000 range, although I've written the much longer than that. Base rates for novels start at $1,000 and go up from there depending on your needs. Contact me to discuss your project and together we'll figure out what'll work best for you.
Non-Fiction Writing
Historically I've done a lot more non-fiction eBook writing for people, but this is beginning to change. My typical non-fiction eBooks are 10,000 to 20,000 words long and about 30 to 40 pages, although more if pictures are included. Base prices for non-fiction writing are $500 and go up from there depending on your needs. Contact me to discuss your project and together we'll figure out what'll work best for you.
Payments
All payments can be made with PayPal. Full payment is due at the beginning of the job, although I'll do a multi-page or chapter sample for you before payment is due. Please contact me for more information.
