What does book editing cost?
More edit, less fee! Other editors with comparable experience may charge more, but that doesn't mean that their edits are greater in scope. MORE

Why do I need a book editor?
You have only one opportunity to make a first impression on a publisher; a professional manuscript edit will maximize the impression you make. MORE

What can I expect from a book edit?
My book edit includes marking up your manuscript and providing a thorough report that is rarely less than ten single-spaced pages in length. MORE

What is the most important consideration
in selecting a book editor?

How can someone who has never rejected manuscripts for a major publisher know how to warn you about problems that could lead to manuscript rejection? MORE

YOUR EDIT COULD START TODAY!

How long does book editing take?
Your book edit could begin today, and turn-around time is rarely longer than two weeks. MORE

Should a manuscript be given
a complete reading first before
the actual edit commences?
Since your success with a publisher will ultimately depend upon the first impression that you make on a publisher, your editor should approach your manuscript based upon first impressions as well. MORE

Why should I avoid sample edits?
Even the weakest of manuscript editors can appear deceptively strong on the basis of marks on a few pages of text. MORE

Why is book manuscript format so important?
If your book manuscript doesn't look the way publishers expect it to, they are likely to reject it without reading a single word. MORE

Where can I find out if a book editor I'm
considering has been involved in dishonest practices?

Verify a prospective book editor's credentials and check Preditors and Editors MORE

A professional book edit is like having a private tutor to guide you toward publication success!

YOU'LL FIND A MARK ON VIRTUALLY EVERY PAGE!


If you're serious about improving your writing, be prepared for an overload of markings and suggestions. You'll not find a more intensive learning experience than a book edit from me.
