Turnaround time varies according to the length and complexity of your manuscript as well as the length, complexity, and volume of manuscripts ahead of yours. Generally speaking, we try to keep turnaround time to eight weeks or less, but we give your manuscript the time and attention it deserves. We notify you when your manuscript arrives and give you an estimated return date at that time.

Which Do You Want, a Great Job or a Fast Job?

Don't laugh! I can do a great job or a fast job, but I cannot do both. If speed is more important to you than accuracy, by all means let me know, and I will speed your job through. I much prefer, though, to do a slow, careful, excellent job for you, so that your manuscript not only reflects well on both of us but also meets with success.

Rush Jobs

We can sometimes rush jobs through by working nights and/or weekends, but we must charge extra for that service. The fee is 50% more than the standard fee, plus extra if you want us to overnight or otherwise rush shipping, as well. If you want a rush job, call 770-024-0528 today to ask about our availability.

Consultations

Would you like to chat and ask all the questions you ever wanted to ask someone in the business, especially if you plan to self publish? I offer personal consultations by phone or in person for $75 an hour, with a minimum of $75. Call me to discuss and set up a personal consultation. 770-924-0528.

Are You Looking for an Agent or a Publisher?

Writing is a lonely profession, and without professional help, it's also rarely a financially rewarding one. We help make sure your manuscript is the best it can be, because it faces tough competition in the marketplace.

If you plan to find an agent or a publisher, we help by evaluating, editing, and polishing your work so that it stands heads and shoulders above the competition. We point out everything that would make your manuscript more marketable and more appealing to a publisher.

Do You Plan to Self-Publish?

If you plan to self-publish, we edit and polish your work so it reflects well on you and is received well by readers. What heartbreak we have seen many self-publishers go through, when they bypassed the all-important professional-editing step and rushed to market with a product filled with embarrassing and costly errors. Don't make the same mistake. Be sure to build into your budget enough money for a professional editor and plan for enough time for a professional editor to do a good job.

Also, do not make the mistake of adding unedited pages after the edit is complete. Why would I mention such a thing? The acknowledgments, foreword, and back cover of self-published books typically are the most visible, yet they often are riddled with errors. Don't let that embarrassing and costly error happen to you or your book!
