How We Can Help
Query Letters
If you are planning to go through the traditional publishing process, you will need to craft a query letter to send to literary agents and publishing houses. Our pricing for query letters starts at just $60, but often, we recommend taking a stab at writing it yourself. Click the button for a few tips on writing your own query letters.
Proofreading
Proofreading is the most basic form of editing. That doesn't mean it's easy or quick. It just means it will lead to the fewest comments and changes. It is also the cheapest. A proofreader will find grammar, spelling, and spacing mistakes in your book. At the end of a proofread, you will have a cleaner piece of work, but will see no changes in the story itself.
Content Editing
A content edit means reading the book and identifying plot holes and other potential story issues. It means helping you build your characters, and making your story run smoothly. This takes time, and will build a better novel.
Line-by-Line Editing
Line-by-line editing means polishing and smoothing out the text of your work. It takes an editor who can mimic your style and bring the best out of each sentence and paragraph of your work. This, combined with a content edit, will make the most meaningful impact on your novel.
