How this works

1. Your first step is to enquire about my availability.

2. I’ll ask you to send me a few pages of your book.

3. I will edit your sample so you can judge the style and quality of my editing.

4. If you like what you see and the timing fits, we agree the scope, price, and delivery date of your edited manuscript.

5. I get to work and deliver on my promise.

Ruth is a true pro, and in my experience, will follow your instructions to a “T” and improve upon them.

The Editorial Style Sheet was of particular value to me and my client.

How much will it cost?

My charges are based on the length of the book, what type of editing you need, and how quickly you want your edited manuscript.

To give you an idea: a copyedit of a purely text-based manuscript of between 50,000 and 75,000 words, turned around within three weeks, will usually cost around $2,700 inc VAT.

If you are looking for the cheapest deal on the market, I’m not your editor.

I have high standards of service, giving you individual attention and stunning accuracy, and I tailor every quote.

So don’t let this information put you off filling out an application form and telling me your requirements.

No guarantees

I do not, cannot, will never guarantee your book will be published.

I do not, cannot, will never guarantee your book will attract an agent.

I do not, cannot, will never guarantee your book will make money.

My promise

I can promise to enhance the reading experience of your book.

I can promise you confidence in a manuscript as close to perfect as a human being can make it. (But sorry, there will be a pesky error in there somewhere that I’ve missed. I’m human!)

I can promise your text accuracy and consistency of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
