Case study
Christine emailed us her writing in instalments, typically once a month, though it varied with her writing speed and other commitments. As she completed each chapter, our editor would read it through and provide detailed feedback, giving an idea of how to develop the manuscript. The feedback covered aspects of plot structure, how to make the reader engage with her protagonist, and how to situate the reader in the setting of her novel. Over the period of several months, she requested a couple of short video calls in order to discuss a few issues that they had discovered together. She is now in possession of a completed manuscript of which she is proud, and we have taken the next step to start the editing process before she goes on to self-publish.
Cost structure
We charge £0.019 per word, so the price of each instalment will depend on how many words you decide to send us.
Zoom consultations are free. Email communications are also not chargeable. Typically, an invoice will be sent with each instalment critiqued, though other payment plans are available.
