Editing Services
Your Story, Perfected & Polished
Great Edits, Affordable Prices
All Stories Editing makes an effort to price our services at a rate that is both fair to our editors and reasonable for self-publishing, independently published, or querying authors. For this reason, our prices are lower than the Editorial Freelance Association's guidelines.
Make Your Story Shine
-
Proofreading
Spellcheck is pretty much universal these days, but even the best computer can't evaluate grammar, spelling, and punctuation with the same accuracy as a highly-experienced editor. Our proofreading service provides you and your manuscript with a trained eye that will correct for errors in:
Grammar | Punctuation | Spelling | Word Usage | Clarity | Verb Tense
Price: $.008 per word / $8 per thousand words
-
Copyediting
If you need a little more than proofreading, copyediting may be for you! Includes everything from proofreading, but with more advice as far as:
Paragraph organization | Dialogue | Sentence construction | Word choice | Clarity
AND small rewrites for awkward word choice or unclear meaning. Note: Copyediting includes line-edits but NOT major rewriting.
Price: $.010 per word / $10 per thousand words
-
Substantive Editing
More in-depth edits for your novel, including everything covered under copyediting, plus detailed line-edits. Includes the most thorough, comprehensive editing and revising we offer, including:
