Book Support Service Pricing

We help new authors of non-fiction by offering author support services and training.

Your mentor ensures you’re clear on the genre you’re writing, you know who your market is. She helps you understand the forming of an author brand, with multimedia learning resources.

Our Support Services:

Book Writing Coaching—non-fiction, creative memoir
Author Academy (Book Creation Success, a self-publisher’s course and group)
Marketing Coaching package for soloists of any kind
Book Structuring and Editing program–see Content Wizard program

Line Editing – Now editing short books only

Line editing looks at language and communication of your message. Our line editing packs a punch, with sub-heading suggestions, paragraph flow correction, less repetition, topic sentence suggestions, and look at consistent voice. This adds 10-20% extra time onto the time estimates below.

Guideline for days required:

A lead magnet (5,000 words) involves creating headings, arranging, resourcing and copyediting. If available, 1 week turnaround.
A short book (30,000 words) involves about 24 hours to edit, so it’s about 2 weeks turnaround.
A longer book (70,000 words) can take between 40–60 hours to edit, and we refer these to Julie at Grammarfun or Gail Taggaro.

Referral system: Give plenty of lead time and get a choice of experienced book editors.
