FAQ

Everything you need to know about rates, delivery, and how we collaborate to polish your debut novel.

How long does the editing take?

How do you calculate rates?

It depends greatly on the type of service and the length of the manuscript, but as a rough estimate: proofreading and copyediting typically takes 1-2 weeks, while developmental editing and full bundles can take 3 - 4 weeks for a standard length novel.

We use flat per-word rates based on word count. You know the exact cost upfront, with no surprise fees.

What genres do you work with?

How does payment work?

Primarily literary and commercial fiction, though I am happy to look at most fiction genres. I do not work witth non-fiction manuscripts.

A deposit is taken to secure the work, and final payment will be taken once everything has been delivered. For longer projects, payments are taken across milestones.
