Welcome to the Word Kettle!
Below you'll see:
- A list of what services we offer including costs.
- Clear instructions for accessing services.
We offer manuscript assessment at the following rates. $26.00 for the first 5000 words or part thereof. Any picture book text or short piece under 5000 words will be $26.00 unless it is longer than 600 words and is in rhyme, in which case it may be $36.00, depending on how much work I need to do to fix the scansion.
$16.00 for each 9000 words or part thereof after that.
We offer editing at the following rates.
Tier One (for jobs that are in good condition)
$26.00 for the first 3000 words or part thereof (unless as above- it's a long rhyming text).
$16.00 for each 3500 words following.
Combo; assessment + editing costs the same as editing plus $16.
For more information see Here
Proofreading or Beta reading same cost as assessment.
Tier Two- this kicks in after June 30th 2024- (for jobs with systemic problems. These include random tense changes throughout, and/or severe spelling and sentence structure problems in which at least half the sentences on any given page need to be changed.)
$40.00 for the first 3000 words or part thereof.
$25.00 for each 3500 words following.
Unsure whether your job is Tier One or Tier Two? Send me five pages for analysis.
