I have spent 3 yeas in writing the book, I believe it is in nearly final form but certainly can use editing.
Non Fiction, of course. 52,000 words.
i can send a short sample.
Not sure if this is the type of editing you do.
Yes I will do your manuscript. I recently finished a dissertation on tax evasion, so I do both nonfiction and fiction.I will do the first 500 words as a free sample. So, 52,000 words minus 500 words equals 51,500 words times .004/word, equals $206.00. I require half to start so $103.00, then the rest at the end, so the other $103.00.
Let me know what you want to do. My email address is legal2b@yahoo.com

I have been proofreading and editing for some time now, and I keep my fees lower than the norm because I know authors typically have to budget for services. My low fees are a stress reliever. I also line-edit part-time for two publishing houses.
I stay in email contact with my authors during the editing process and send any questions I have to them, so our relationship stays true and current. In addition to the editing, I often make suggestions, (in parentheses) to clarify a thought or passage. These suggestions are merely that, and not etched in stone.
I charge .003/word for proofreading, or $30.00 per 10,000 words and .004/word for editing, or $40.00 per 10,000 words. If I contract for editing I throw in the proofreading for free, as I'm already in there. Contact me at legal2b@yahoo.com with your word count for a quote.
