Where Great Ideas Hatch Into Great Books

If there's one thing every successful author knows, it's this: hatching a great book is a team effort. While much of the creative process is solitary work, getting a book ready for publication takes fresh eyes and new perspectives. Whether you are pursuing self-publishing or seeking an agent, we would like to help your book take flight.

Our goal is to help fellow authors succeed with their publishing goals by offering them great services at a very low price.

What We Do

Step One
Content Editing: We will evaluate your manuscript for pacing, plot holes, character likeability and inconsistencies, and general flow.  The focus of this edit is the structure of your book.

Our introductory pricing is comprehensive and affordable: just $.0025 per word (approximately $.63 per page). 

 Step Two

Copy Editing: We will scour your manuscript for typos, grammatical errors, awkward sentence structure and punctuation mistakes. This is also called a line edit.

Introductory pricing for copy editing is the same as above: $.0025 per word (approximately $.63 per page). 

Package Pricing
Contract with us for both content editing and copy editing, and you will only pay $.004 per word for both services (approximately $1.00 per page). See examples below.
