Editorial Assessment

$299.00

Our Editorial Assessment evaluates sections of your manuscript to gauge what type or level of editing could help polish it. As part of the process, a portion of your work (typically the first chapter or about 1,700 words) will be edited to provide you with a sample. We will provide a general assessment of your manuscript and commentary directed toward improving it.

The estimated time frame for the Editorial Assessment is 3–4 weeks. Depending on the results, the evaluator will recommend the services of a line editor, content editor, or developmental editor.

If you choose to purchase the recommended service, we will assign your book to an editorial specialist who will take your manuscript through a thorough editing process, addressing the specific issues raised in the assessment. You may also opt to work with your own editor or make the recommended changes yourself.

Important Notes

• A Diagnostic Tool: The Editorial Assessment is not a replacement for full editorial services; it is a preliminary diagnostic process to determine which areas of your manuscript need improvement.
• Editorial Credit: If you purchased the Editorial Assessment as a standalone service, you will receive a $299 credit toward the cost of any subsequent Editorial Services you purchase from us.
  
  • Please note: This credit does not apply if the Editorial Assessment was included in your publishing package at no additional cost.
• Flexibility: You are under no obligation to use our services; you may opt to work with an outside editor or implement the suggested changes yourself.
