Editing Rates

Nest Egg

Whether you need a book doctor or some basic editing, Linden can help.

Linden provides a FREE initial 30-minute phone consultation.

If you already have a manuscript, she recommends that you hire her to evaluate your work. The charge for this service starts at $1,750, payable in advance.

Linden reads through your pages and provides a detailed memo about what she thinks works, what doesn’t, and what’s needed. If you agree with her critique and want to proceed, she can either function as an editor, a writing coach or both.

Editing is usually contracted for on an hourly basis, though flat editor rates can be negotiated on a project-by-project basis.

Developmental editing, line editing: $150/hour

Minor rewriting is included in the editing process. Teaching is not. Neither is a full rewrite, which must be contracted for separately.

Clients paying by the hour are charged half of the total estimated fee in advance, and the balance upon delivery of edit. Flat rates are charged half in advance, and half upon delivery of edit.

Return Policy: Sorry . . . no refunds will be provided unless the editing work has not yet been started.

Privacy Policy: The operative word here is private. Your information stays with me. Period.

For more information, Linden invites you to contact her directly at linden@lindengross.com. She looks forward to helping you carve out or refine that book or project that’s in your head and heart.
