We are not here to break the bank. We are here to help those who don't have thousands of dollars available for editing services.
A flat fee of $30 is charged for the first 15,000/15k words. Beyond 15k, the prices listed under the services below come into effect. For example: a 90,000/90k word book with a request for heavy editing would equate to $30 for the first 15k words then $.006/word for anything above 15k. The total for the book would be $450 + $30 = $480. For projects over $300, payment is 50% up front and 50% at completion. For projects $300 or less, payment in full will be paid prior to the commencement of work on the project. Credit cards are accepted. Satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back.
Our turnaround time frame depends on the amount of words within the project. A novella will usually take a week or less. A manuscript of 100,000/100k words will take longer, depending on the level of editing requested. The time frame can more accurately be determined once the project is evaluated by Art and Edit. For rush services, please add an additional $50.
