Before you publish your book or write it…
Before you submit your treasured manuscript to a publisher, literary agent, or POD book publishing company, the most important tactic that will bring you the most sales and interest is to have your manuscript professionally reviewed and edited.

Book Editing Fees
Most professional book editors charge between 2-10 cents per word. Some editors charge by the page, but I’d caution you against this because you only want to pay for the words that someone will actually edit.
I charge 2 cents per word to copyedit a manuscript.
I charge 1.5 cents per word to proofread a manuscript.
I charge 3 cents per word when I have to rewrite major sections of your text or if there are more than a normal amount of grammatical and pacing errors.
I charge 5 cents per word when major portions of your book have to be ghostwritten to make it believalbe, or with a nonfiction book, to reorganize the sections and data to align with an industry-standard structure that results in the sale of a successful book. Like, if you hand me notes, snippets of text, etc., and you want this turned into a best-selling fiction or nonfiction book, there’s a lot of work on my part to get your book in shape.
Who is the Best Editor for Your Book?
Before you pull out your credit card or write a check to an editor, my advice is to ALWAYS talk to the editor FIRST. Send an email or fill out their contact form and request a phone appointment. If the editor works full-time at her business, then she’ll return your call during normal business hours. Beware of editors who offer their services for extremely low rates or who are not accessible by phone during normal business hours during the week.
What’s Next When You’re Searching for Book Editing Services?
After talking to a potential editor on the phone, ask her if she’s willing to edit one page from your manuscript at no charge so that you can see if she knows what she’s doing and if you’re happy with her editing services. If an editor is NOT willing to edit one sample page for you, then continue your search for a competent person who offers book editing services. Of course, not every author needs or wants a sample edit. But if you’re unsure about hiring an editor, this is a deal breaker if the editor refuses (my opinion).
