Let's talk about writing, editing, e-books, and print publishing...
Have You Considered an Appraisal?
A copyedit can be a big outlay, so there is another option. Before you start the laborious process of hawking your work to publishers or immortalizing it as an e-book, you could chose to pay a small fee to have it read in entirety and critically assessed. An assessment is nowhere near as comprehensive as a full edit, but for just $380, Karin will read a PDF of your manuscript of 65,000 words or fewer and provide you with a detailed report, complete with examples taken from your own work, that show you how you can improve your writing. A small price to pay for tailor-made advice from an industry professional.
While you won't receive the full editorial treatment with corrections and explanations made for you in MSWord, you'll get tips on things that might irk a reader or publisher. She'll highlight ways you might improve your style, plot, or pacing, and may even make some mark-ups in your PDF file, which will act as examples for you to follow. And you'll have the choice of making the changes yourself or rejecting them. Most of Karin's clients are blown away by how helpful it is to have an experienced editor comment on their work.
