Book editing
Due to the informative nature of non-fiction books, the editing process is incredibly important in making sure your information is conveyed as it should be and that your text is free of all grammatical errors. Book editing is also appropriate for works of fiction or semi-fiction which do not employ creative devices, but instead rely on a grammatically sound narrative.
If your book is free of grammatical errors, it is far more likely to be accepted by publishers and literary agents. The flow and style of text is extremely important in the writing of any book and my full book editing service ensures your text is in the best possible state for publication.
The book editing process is often thought of as a more advanced level of book proofreading. Essentially, copy editing goes one stage further and addresses all elements of style and structure, ensuring that publishers are far more likely to hold your book in high regard.
What does it cost?
Editing prices can vary dramatically. A number of factors are taken into account when quoting for book editing, including:
- The length and word count of your book;
- The current grammatical state of the book and the level of editing involved; and
- Any publication deadlines or time-frames which must be adhered to.
In order to offer an accurate price, it is very helpful if you are able to send over a sample chapter from your book to enable me to gauge the amount of work involved.
