Are you ready to learn where your manuscript falls short with the publishing industry
and what you can do to improve your chances of acceptance?

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. This is not mandatory. If you're uncomfortable doing so, e-mail me and we'll make alternate arrangements.

YOUR OPTIONS:

OPTION #1 -- IF YOU SEND HARD COPY TO ME, my fee is one-cent per word (per your software's word count) plus $20 return shipping. Your manuscript must be properly formatted. Depending upon my work load at the time, your edit will usually begin upon receipt of the manuscript and payment in full, and will be returned to you within two weeks. I will let you know if my schedule at the time is running a bit slower. Example: 75,000 word manuscript is $750 plus $20 return shipping -- $770. 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
Birmingham, AL 35210

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: 75,000 word, 300 page page manuscript is $750 plus $20 return shipping plus $30 printing fee -- $800.

This 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 speeds the process. In most cases, your edit will begin within 48 hours of your initial contact and your manuscript will be returned to you within two weeks. I will let you know if my schedule at the time is running a bit slower. You may pay by check or money order in American funds only or use the PayPal option below.

OPTION #3 -- IF YOU PREFER ME TO WORK DIRECTLY WITH YOUR ELECTRONIC FILE, my fee is two-cents per word. Example: 75,000 word manuscript is $1,500. This option includes correction of all basic, minor mistakes but no rewriting. For example, I will make all punctuation corrections but will not correct incomplete sentences. In the vast majority of cases your edit will begin upon receipt of payment in full and your manuscript will be returned to you via e-mail within three weeks. I will let you know if my schedule at the time is running a bit slower. 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.
