Editing Information

Dreams Come True Editing

I will have a few different packages available to choose from. A Deluxe Package, an Intermediate Package, and a Beginner's Package. First, I will list and explain the services I will be offering. Then I will go into the three packages and the pricing for each package.

LINE EDITS

This will be an overall, step-by-step, line-by-line edit of your novel. I will fix grammatical errors.

OVERALL OPINION

This will be an overview of your novel. I will tell you what I thought of your characters, plot, pacing, and story elements such as the beginning, the climax of the story, and the ending. Basically, a detailed review of your novel.

FORMATTING

I will format your novel for either e-book or paperback publishing. This is solely for those interested in pursuing self-publishing, as traditionally published authors will have other people who do this for them.

THE PACKAGES

Deluxe: Includes line edits, an overall opinion, and your choice of formatting (both formats available at an extra fee).

Intermediate: Line edits and an overall opinion.

Beginner's: Your choice of line edits, an overall opinion, or formatting (one or the other, both extra)

PRICING

Line edits:    $12 per 10,000 words.
                   EX. A 50,000 words novel would cost $60.

DISCLAIMER: There will be a price increase to $10 per hour for books that need a lot of editing.

Formatting:   E-book: $15     paperback: $15    Both: $25

Overall Opinion:  $20

Deluxe Package: Starts out at $30. (There is a $5 discount on the review for choosing this package) Add in your cost for line edits (See example above) and add $30 to get your total for this package.

EX. A 50,000 word novel would cost $90 in the Deluxe Package.

Intermediate Package: Starts out at $17. (There is a $3 discount on the review for choosing this package). Add in your cost for line edits (see example above) and add $17 to get your total for this package.

EX. A 50,000 word novel would cost $77 in the Intermediate Package.

Beginner's: Varies. For line edits only, determine your line edit price. See example above.

                              For formatting only, see above formatting prices.

                              For an overall opinion, see above overall opinion price.

To contact DCT about inquiries, email Jami Montgomery at jamimonty@gmail.com.

I will ask that you send the first chapter or the first 5,000 words (whichever is shorter) of your manuscript and a pitch that includes your word count, genre, and category as well as 1-3 page synopsis. I will edit the first chapter and then email it back to you. If you are pleased with the way I edit, then I ask for half the payment when you send the full manuscript, and the rest when I finish.

*Disclaimer* If the novel does not interest me, I will not be able to edit it. I can't force myself to read something of a genre that I don't read or don't find interesting. You wouldn't ask a History buff to edit a Math textbook. It works the same way for novel editors.
