Your book's final manuscript
"Final" means that it has been edited and proofread. While we are happy to edit and format your document even if it is a draft edition, it will be more cost effective for you to provide us a final copy. If you don't provide us a final copy then our editorial rates apply. We're happy to fix up to 30 typos for free within 10 days of sending you the final product, otherwise editorial rates apply. See rates for "Editing (not copyediting or proofreading)" below.
You may provide your manuscript in any of these formats: HTML, Word DOC/DOCX, RTF, Pages, WordPerfect, InDesign. Even PDF is okay but may require editorial rates depending on the shape of the text after it's extracted.
A few other items
We will need a few other items for our services, such as the ebook's cover, an agreement for how to pay, etc. These vary based on what you want and so will be communicated up front.
Review your final product
After we send you the final product, you need to review it and communicate any errors that you may find within 10 days. We will fix up to 30 typos from you manuscript for free within that same 10 days (see details in "Your book's final manuscript" above).
