The Cozy Review

Services

ProofreadingOffering Proofreading services for authors of stand-alone Mystery books or Cozy Book Series, Blogs, and Short Stories. Services are for authors looking for a general once-over (spelling, grammar, punctuation) of their manuscript before submitting their work to an editor, publicist, or publisher. Services are provided for editors and publishers at a flat fee per book.

Proofreading Pricing & Conditions (author/writer only pricing):
$2.50 per page for novellas (30,000 to 60,000 words)
$4.00 per page for full-length novels (over 60,000 words)
$0.75 per word for short stories, blog posts, or articles (under 30,000 words)

For novellas and full-length works, 50% of the total fee must be paid via Paypal before work begins. The remainder is due when half of the manuscript has been (proofread) completed. A (Paypal) invoice will be sent for the remaining balance once I have reached the halfway point of the manuscript. All work must be submitted via email attachment in a Word doc file or a Word-compatible file. Standard Manuscript Formatting is required. I do not accept hard copies of any material.

Please query before sending any material for proofreading. Email: thecozyreview@gmail.com. The average full-length manuscript takes 3 – 6 weeks; novellas 2- 4 weeks; everything else takes 1 – 2 weeks to complete. The length of time for completion depends on the length of the material. I require a written, signed, and dated agreement for proofreading services.

First-time clients (novella and full-length material only) will be given a $25.00 discount on the final invoice.

Note: I do not provide line editing, copy editing, content, or developmental editing. However, I may make suggestions for content revisions.

*Publishers, editors, and publicists email me with the manuscript information (length, genre, publishing date) to get a price quote.
