Frequently Asked Questions

Global Questions

Why is manuscript editing important?

Editing a book is an important part of producing a final draft. This encompasses various types of editing depending on the level of editing you need to truly nail perfection. Developmental editing is meant to make big changes related to the theme and story, with things like individual sentences, characterization, plot holes etc, as well as how the entire book structure works with rhythm and flow. Then there are copyediting, structural editing, and editorial assessment, which all work towards consistency and flow that make your story well-structured and appealing to publishers and readers.

The price to edit your work will vary depending on the type of work you want your drafts to receive, the word count (book-length), the deadline, and the number of revisions. A professional editor may charge on a per word, per hour, or project level.

 

As an example, for a 70,000-word manuscript, editing costs would be:

  • Developmental editing: $.05 per word, or $5,100 total
  • Basic copyediting: $.013 per word, or $1,060 total
  • Proofreading: $.0105, or $741 total

Editing costs can also be based on the experience, skills, and services which a professional editor offers, and how long an editor has been in the industry.

Developmental editing prototypes the key elements of storytelling, making sure your suggestions are well developed and appropriately incorporated into the story. Developmental editing deals with large pieces, such as story structure, character development, plot arcs, pacing, and writing style. Developmental editing attempts to streamline one main piece of the manuscript to ensure a seamless flow. This level of editing is foundational for telling a compelling story and will enable you to move on to more in depth editing.

Copyediting, or line editing, is the technical side of writing, as opposed to the developmental stage. It is about grammar, punctuation, syntax, word choice, and consistency. It is about finding the final errors and ensuring clarity. The purpose of copyediting is to make sure your manuscript is polished, professional, and ready to send out to agents or publishers or self-publish.
