Renovating Your Story
​Editing Services:

Is your book ready for editing? Do you need someone else to help you figure out where to go next? Sisters Ink Publishing can give you the confidence you need to independently publish your work or have it ready for submission to a publisher or agent.
​Please note that we do not accept anything "R" rated or higher including horror, occult, or erotica. We reserve the right to turn down any job for any reason.
Please email ten pages representative of the manuscript to sistersinkpublishing(at)gmail(dot)com for a free, no-obligation evaluation. This ensures a good fit for both editor and author, and provides an opportunity for us to discuss the final price and working time frame. If you have any questions, please fill out the contact form below, and I'll answer as soon as I can.

Content Editing
​     $0.006 per word

Content editing is the most comprehensive and perfect for a first-time writer. The editor will asses structure and substance, reader reaction, plot, characterization, pacing, and organization in addition to all of the services included in the copy editing below. Suggestions and comments will be made in the margins of the document, and a full evaluation will accompany the return of the manuscript.

Copy/Line Editing
​     $0.004 per word

Copy editing is just right if the manuscript is almost ready for submission or publication. Editorial emphasis will be placed on repetitive words, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, word choice and connotation, syntax, clarity, consistency, and proofreading.

Proofreading
​     $0.0025 per word

This is the lightest edit, looking for typos, missed words, spelling, and punctuation--perfect if you've already had beta readers go through the book.

Both Content & Proofreading
​     $0.008 per word

Bundle both content editing and proofreading for two complete rounds of editing. The editor will read for content first and send back recommendations. After the author makes changes, the editor will proofread the manuscript.
If you are unsure which level of editing your manuscript needs, send in the first ten pages, and I'll give you an idea of what each level is and how much it will cost.

​*Half of the agreed upon fee must be paid via PayPal before the commencement of editing services.
