Indie Book Editing Simplified
Like all self-published authors that need to edit their Indie books, I wish that Indie Book editing could be simplified.
I wish that editing options could be laid out clearly and transparently, and above all, kept simple.
And then I looked at myself, and particularly my own website, www.theindietribe.com. To my horror, I realised that I was as guilty as most at confusing self-published writers. The site was oozing a myriad editing opportunities, which was probably confusing any author that cared to look. I doubt they could see the wood for the trees.
So out came my scythe and I set to ruthlessly pruning The Indietribe’s book editing options. I’ve got it down to three simple choices, all representing extreme value for money, and all guaranteed to help you get a professional quality book to market.
So here we go. Here they are:
A one-off £195 ($302 U.S.Dollars) fee will ensure that your manuscript is critiqued. 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.
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?
£5 per 1000 words 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.
A one-off £95 ($116 U.S.Dollars) fee will ensure that your book is successfully published in eBook format. 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.
So I hope this current choice of editing is simple enough for you. That was the aim. Effectively it does what it says on the tin – the secret to successful editing.
I look forward to assisting you with a BOOK CRITIQUE , BOOK PROOF-READING or BOOK UPLOAD soon.
