EXTENSIVE FREE ADVICE WITH EDITS EXCEEDING 200 PAGES!

MARKETING YOUR MANUSCRIPT--Scanning the classified ads to find a job has long been criticized as an ineffective way to find decent employment. Likewise, relying on market listings alone to sell a manuscript can be equally unproductive. Here's an innovative, in-depth approach to marketing your manuscript that you've not likely been exposed to. If you're serious about selling your work, throw away the market listings and get serious about selling your manuscript with this common sense guide to marketing--free for the asking with any edit exceeding 200 pages. One carefully targeted submission can be more effective than 100 random submissions.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM SELF-PUBLICATION--If you've read my comments regarding self-publication, you already know that I'm not a big fan. However, circumstances do exist wherein self-publication could be your best bet. Unfortunately, print on demand publishers can not only be misleading, but may also be deceitful. Here's an in-depth, objective look at what you may truly expect from self-publication and print-on-demand publishers. I can be more candid in this free private report than on my web site and help you maximize your self-publication experience while minimizing your expense in doing so. View self-publication from an honest, unbiased perspective--free for the asking with any edit exceeding 200 pages.


TO SCHEDULE AN EDIT :


CONTACT ME via e-mail with a brief one-paragraph description of your manuscript. If your work falls within my area of expertise, I'd like to serve as your editor. I don't want your money if I feel someone else could be better for you.

Following a favorable response to the above, you may then forward a complete copy of your manuscript as an e-mail electronic file attachment. I will evaluate your manuscript format and possibly recommend minor modifications, then provide you with an exact fee quote for my editorial services.

YOUR OPTIONS:

OPTION #1 -- IF YOU SEND HARD COPY TO ME, my fee is only 1.5 cents per word (per your software's word count) plus $30 return shipping. Example: 60,000 word manuscript is $900 plus $30 return shipping -- $930. An additional charge of $50 applies if your edited manuscript is to be shipped outside of the United States. I will verify receipt of the manuscript and payment in full, and will give you a scheduled date for the edit to begin. You may pay by check or money order in American funds only or use the PayPal option below. Ship your manuscript to:

Creative Inspirations, Inc.
P.O. Box 100031
Irondale , AL 35210

NOTE: Unauthorized hard copy may not be accepted.
I prefer to see an electronic copy prior to committing to an edit,
so please get authorization from me by e-mail prior to shipping a manuscript;
otherwise, it may be returned unopened.

OPTION #2 -- IF YOU PREFER ME TO PRINT THE MANUSCRIPT FOR YOU, add ten-cents per double-spaced page to the fee determined above. Example: 60,000 word, 300 page manuscript is $900 plus $30 return shipping plus $30 printing fee -- $960. An additional charge of $50 applies if your edited manuscript is to be shipped outside of the United States.

This inexpensive option saves you the cost of paper and printing, as well as the time and expense of shipping your manuscript to me. This option also may speed the process, depending upon my schedule at the time. You may pay by check or money order in American funds only or use the PayPal option below.

 

Red, Blue or Black?

While red ink is easiest to see on a marked-up manuscript, some feel that it's a bit harsh, especially on a manuscript requiring heavy attention. Blue is perhaps more subtle, and black can be difficult to discern against typical black print. Regardless, if you have a preference, I'll be happy to mark up your manuscript in your color of choice. The default color is blue, which will be used unless requested otherwise.

What I Seek in a Client

My preference is to work with hard copy for serious writers who intend to make their manuscript the very best it can be by performing a meticulous line-by-line rewrite following receipt of the edited manuscript. If you intend to only make absent-minded corrections from the marked-up manuscript, please find someone else to edit your work. I want clients who wish to succeed; after all, your success is a reflection of my expertise. You'll not likely succeed if you're unwilling to learn from this process and condition yourself to spot your own errors, thereby reducing your future dependency upon book editors.
