I am currently offering two levels of editing services….

Deliverables:
Overall structural integrity of manuscript
Flow of the manuscript
Overview of idea presentation in the manuscript
General knowledge of basic premise
General overview of audience and person
Suggestions for organization of book/flow
Suggestions for overarching plan forward
Cost:
30 hours of work: 0-35,000 words = $3,000
40 + hours of work: 35,000-80,000+ words = $4,500+
Structural Edit
This is a substantive edit that analyzes the manuscript in greater depth. Attention is given to areas of strength and weakness, making significant comments and suggestions to the manuscript. However, please note that this consultant is not making changes to the language or copy. The structural edit focuses on a four level analysis: Global Level / Chapter Level / Sections Level / Paragraph Level.
Deliverables:
The structural edit asks the following questions of the above four levels:
What is this manuscript set to accomplish?
How clear is it?
How is the flow in each Chapter?
Is the book balanced?
Is the book structurally sound?
Is there voice consistency?
Is this book believable with consistent and convincing arguments and data?
Cost:
$115 per hour
