  03   EDITING - RATES & SERVICES  
     
 

Cost: Each project is evaluated individually. Fee will depend upon the size of the manuscript, article, or web page(s) and the amount of editing recommended. Will provide cost estimates based on your budget.

FREE Editing Proposal  
  We provide FREE Editing Proposals. All you have to do is:
  • Email us 2 or 3 sample chapters (in Microsoft Word format, if possible) as an attachment, at info@seabreezeproductions.com.
  • Let us know the word count of your manuscript. To determine the word count in Microsoft Word, simply click on “Tools” in the task bar at the top of your screen, then “Word Count.”
  • Let us know the number of pages in your manuscript and whether they are double or single-spaced.
  • Let us know your budget constraints. We promise to provide excellent value for your editing dollar.
Upon receipt of this information, we will promptly review your material and email you an Editing Proposal that will include:
  • Our fee for editing and a brief description of the type and degree of editing we recommend, i.e., Proofreading, Copy Editing, Substantive Editing, Rewriting, etc. We will list all applicable categories, and you can choose which ones best fit your requirements and budget.
  • Our assurance that no matter what changes we make to your manuscript, your style, tone, and voice will be enhanced—never compromised!

If you agree to the terms of our Editing Proposal, we will ask for a downpayment of at least 50% of the total fee, with the balance owing when the editing is complete.

Methods of Payment: Credit Card (via secure online Paypal site); wire transfer through your bank or Western Union; company cheques, money orders or bank drafts (Canadian residents only).

Please ask us for details.

Once we receive payment, we will schedule your project and advise you of the estimated completion date. You may then email your entire manuscript to us. We will begin editing at the scheduled time and return the revised manuscript to you via email when the editing is complete. Please note that all our editing is done ‘on-line.’ We do not require ‘paper’ copies of your manuscript.

We will provide you with periodic updates as to our progress. We will also contact you if we have specific questions or concerns.

 
Copy Editing
  All manuscripts submitted to us for editing will be checked for grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
 
Substantive Editing
  The majority of manuscripts submitted to us will require some substantive editing to improve readability, clarity, continuity, and flow. This may mean:
  • Adding, deleting, or changing words, phrases, or sentences (Minor substantive editing), and/or
  • Organizing and/or formatting, e.g., spacing, indentations; rearranging and/or changing paragraphs and their contents; creating chapters or sections, chapter titles, headings; etc. (Major substantive editing.)
Rewriting
  To improve clarity and readability, it may be necessary for us to rewrite portions of a manuscript. If this is the case, we will list our recommendations in the Editing Proposal. As always, we will ensure that the author’s style, tone and voice remain intact.
 
Proofreading
 

All manuscripts submitted to Sea Breeze Productions for editing are spellchecked and proofread before being returned to the author. As a safeguard, however, we highly recommend that authors thoroughly review their manuscripts before submitting them to a publisher.
