Collaborative Editing Details - $300   

Collaborative editing focuses on critiquing top-level issues: pacing, style, continuity, and tone in all works; plot, characterization, and dialogue in fiction works; and thesis, clarity of message, repetition, and reference use in nonfiction works. Editors will also make some technical corrections, such as smoothing out grammatical issues, and they will flag the writing “crutches” you should avoid to improve your craft long term. The edited manuscript will be returned to you with a memo from the editor outlining the strengths and weaknesses of the work and pointing out specific issues (such as repetitive word use) that may require your attention as you make revisions. In addition, you will receive a scheduling form for a one-hour consulting session to discuss the work with your editor and ask any questions you may have about the feedback or corrections.

Professional Editing Package Details - $400   

Professional Editing Package includes a consulting session and three full rounds of editing to polish your manuscript and make it ready for the submission process. Each manuscript receives three different levels of editing designed to address everything from plot holes to punctuation errors. First, your manuscript will go through a full round of Collaborative Editing in which your editor flags any developmental issues that require revision. After your edits have been incorporated and you’ve completed your one-hour consulting session, you’ll upload the newest version of the manuscript for a round of Copyediting—a rigorous cleanup of all grammar, spelling, and style errors. You’ll review the copy editor’s queries and edits and make any additional revisions needed. Once you feel the text has been finalized and is ready for publication, we will email you revised manuscript for a Final Polish. In this last stage, a proofreader will scour the manuscript for lingering typos and formatting inconsistencies. The finished product will be a clean and professional ready for publication.

Reviews

Laura Ellis - I would gladly use your services in the future and hope to meet the person that I worked with one day in person.  I will say the same for Breaking Rules Publishing and the services you offer.  I had already purchased a publishing package prior to learning about your company from Otto Throw.  He said such good things to say about your company and that is how I found you.

Debra Bellera - Breaking Rules Publishing and their editors made the process easy and complete. They were professional and thorough. I will use them for my next book.
