3. EDITING PACKAGES
I’m guessing your novel will be a minimum of 40,000 words long, possibly double that. That’s an awful lot of words and there will be mistakes in there – no matter how many times you have read it. I read recently that:
After reading the the sentence, you are now aware that the the human brain often does not inform you that the the word ‘the’ has been repeated twice every time.
You can avoid this scenario so easily. Let INDIETRIBE proof-read your manuscript. Our totally accurate proof-reading service will ensure that your manuscript is free of any spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, or typos.You will then be able to publish with confidence.
Style guides are used and the necessary distinction between UK English and American English is applied.
We study every line of your text twice, correcting errors as we go along. Our tracked changes will enable you to accept or discard every suggestion, so that you remain entirely in control.
We’ll assess your story’s strengths and weaknesses, and show you how to improve plot structure, scene development, characterization, dialogue, physical setting, narrative style, and other elements.
We’ll use examples from your manuscript to illustrate problems, and check to ensure you’re using the correct viewpoint in each scene.
Effectively the critique will be a macro edit, or an assessment of the wide picture. Are there holes in the plot? Are there loose ends? Is there continuity throughout? Is there enough tension? Does the story reach a satisfactory climax? Are the characters believable and has each one got a distinctive voice?
If you’ve thought of a terrific idea for a book, the plot and characters are in your head, but you’re not sure how to develop it, we can help.
Submit the general synopsis to us and, within twenty one working days, we will provide you with an intricate scene by scene, chapter by chapter, story plan for you to follow, including necessary ingredients such as quest, problems escalating in intensity, climax, resolution etc. We will also indicate the point of view that should be used in each scene. You will then have a road map to follow and can get on with writing your complete story.
Quite simply, you send us your book in word format, together with a jpg of your front cover, and we will convert it to digital format and upload it straight to Kindle Direct Publishing for you. We will optimise your book’s blurb, add relevant keywords and advise on the most appropriate categories for your book. We will liaise with you on the most effective price for the book and dates for free promotions, and manage all that for you. We will place your book on Amazon sites worldwide.
To take advantage of any of these packages, simply email Charlie and let him know your requirements. He will then send you a Paypal invoice, and upon payment, he will set the wheels in motion.
