HARVARD: Manuscript Assessment.
$0.015 AUD per word ($0.01 US £0.008 GBP)
A manuscript or editorial assessment is a first overview of what you've written, providing feedback on key elements like plot, characterization, dialogue and prose. It identifies what is working, what is not working and what you can do to improve the manuscript.
YALE: Developmental edit.
$0.02 AUD per word ($0.015 US £0.01 GBP)
A Green Light developmental edit is like an editorial assessment - but more intesive. Overall structure. Plot holes. Alternative ideas. Thinking outside the box. Dialogue. Description. Blurb and Synopsis. Common pitfalls. Characters. Internal logic. Addressing weaknesses. I'll go over your manuscript and suggest exactly how to improve it. I'll also format your work to industry standards.
Includes face to face discussions over Zoom/Skype/WhatsApp (if desired).
OXFORD: Manuscript Assessment plus partial copy/line edit (novels/novellas only).
$0.03 AUD per word ($0.02 USD. £0.015 GBP)
HARVARD plus a copy edit of the first 20 pages of your manuscript. This will deal with sentence structure, fluency, continuity, clarity and formatting.
A partial copy edit will also give you an invaluable template for how the rest of the work can be improved.

EDINBURGH: Copy/line edit with notes (short stories/essays/novellas only)
$0.05 AUD per word ( $0.35 USD. £0.03 GBP)
This focuses on content, style and language. In short, making the writing as smooth and readable as possible. Includes formatting. It can be done for an entire novel, though I recommend OXFORD for manuscripts over 10,000 words.

$0.06 AUD per word. ($0.04 USD. £0.035 GBP)
YALE plus a full copy edit. In short, making your manuscript as impressive as it can possibly be.

I’ll professionally format your manuscript and convert it into a book that you can sell online or pitch to bookstores. I’ll convert the manuscript to a digital e-Book in Mobi and epub formats. I can also set you up on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing for no extra change. Includes ISBN number and blurb.
PROOF READING
$0.03 AUD per word ($0.02 US £0.015 GBP)
Generally the last stage in completing any manuscript. Spotting all the tiny mistakes and errors that annoy a reader. Oops. You forgot a full stop there.
Please note that proof reading is done by an associate, Jan Adamson. (I only employ people called Jan. Like the Ramones).
