Close-Up Editing & Assessment works to the word count of your manuscript. A typical novel, which runs to approximately 80,000 words, would be charged at $600 for an assessment. Depending on the nature of your needs, this figure will change. (See below.)

If you are interested in proof reading or line editing this will vary based on the amount of work required per manuscript but a starting point is outlined below. Contact us directly for more information.
