WHAT DO YOU GET FOR YOUR INVESTMENT?

INCLUDED ON REQUEST
- Elements of ghost writing. Are you struggling with a specific scene, section or plot development area? Your writing style, codex, and author voice, can be replicated by me; offering ghost writing elements to fill in your manuscript. (Up to 10% of your manuscript - for more extensive ghost writing, please see ghost writing)
- As a very active member of the indie community, I am able to put you in contact with trusted and talented cover artists, formatters, PR services, indie publishers, and introductions.
BESPOKE PRICING
All clients are given a personalised quote based on the amount of time needed to do a conscientious, detailed job. Upon enquiry and submission of chapter samples, clients will receive a sample edit, along with their individualised quote.
Quotes are worked out based on an hourly rate rather than word count; quality, comprehensive, developmental edits can not be worked out on word level alone. Every author and every book is unique, requiring a bespoke level of input and time.
I believe in nurturing long term working relationships, a model that benefits authors as I get to learn you unique voice and readership; my hourly fee is negotiable in circumstances where authors 'adopt' me as their regular editor.
My standard fee is £30 per hour.
Bundles, back catalogues and second edits may have discounts negotiated on an individual basis.
As a rough guide. Most 80k word books need between 25-40hours of work. All editing projects in 2017 are capped at a max price of £1200.

HELPING YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN.
PAYMENT OPTIONS.
With an average edit costing between £550 - £750, I appreciate it's a significant investment for you to find at once, which is why I offer 3 payment options:
1. STANDARD: 2 part payment. 50% payment before edits commence. You will receive a PDF of your final edited manuscript. After settling the other 50%, the word.doc will be released to you.
2. PAYMENT PLAN: 2 monthly payments before edits of 25% and 2 monthly payments after edits of 25%. Word doc released after 3rd payment. (A 5% additional charge is applied to this option)
3. MONTHLY BANKING: For those who are prolific or just very organised, you are able to submit a monthly payment to pre-credit your editing account with Elixir Edits, a bit like an editing piggy bank. If after 12 months you change your mind or shelve your plans, you can withdraw 75% of your investment.
