Manuscript Editing

We evaluate both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts and provide both macro (big picture) edits and micro (grammar) edits. Because each manuscript is different, we start the process with an initial consultation ($75) for Leslie (nonfiction) and Anne (fiction). At that point we’ll estimate how many hours the process will take. Our hourly rates are $75.

Note: All manuscript editing starts with an initial consultation ($75). To begin the process click here.

Then send five double-spaced pages to us. (Specific instructions sent to you directly after payment). After the initial consultation, we will bill you the additional remaining value on the package via Paypal.
