Novel, non-fiction, autobiography
Editing a novel is a big time commitment for our tutors and also needs the writer to feel comfortable and confident with the level of editing and quality of feedback. We ask writers to pay an initial £50.00 consultation fee and submit a synopsis and extract of no more than 2000 words in total. We will return your work with notes. This will help both the editor and writer to decide if they can work together; it will also enable us to set the fee depending on how much input is required and how the writer wants to receive feedback. As a very rough guide 50,000 words will cost between £350 – 550 with every additional 10,000 costing £100 – 125.00. One hour face-to-face consultation (virtual or in person) £50.00. Second-read discount of 20%
