STARTS WITH AN IDEA
You never know where inspiration is going to come from.
But when you find it, you hold onto it tight.
Accessible Editing
Indie authors, I see you. Writing a book is hard. Editing it? Even harder.
But you don’t have to do it alone.
I’m Kevin Kinrade, an editor offering sliding-scale rates to make quality editing accessible for all indie authors. Whether you need a developmental edit, line edits, or just a second pair of eyes, I’ve got you covered. Let’s polish your book without breaking the bank. Message if you’re interested!
ACCESSIBLE EDITING FOR ALL
SERVICE FOR HIRE
Manuscript Critique ($0.02 per word)
General feedback on structure, pacing, character development, and themes.
Not a line edit, but big-picture analysis.
Developmental Editing ($0.04 per word)
In-depth feedback on story structure, character arcs, world-building, and plot holes.
May include an editorial letter and in-line comments.
Line Editing ($0.05 per word)
Focuses on sentence structure, word choice, and readability.
Makes the prose smoother while maintaining the author’s voice.
Copyediting ($0.04 per word)
Grammar, punctuation, consistency, and clarity.
Less intensive than line editing but ensures polished writing.
Proofreading ($0.02 per word)
Final check for typos, formatting, and minor grammatical errors.
Best for near-final drafts.
Sliding Scale Approach
I offer a tiered pricing system based on word count and taking your financial constraints into consideration.
For those who can afford to, we encourage you to pay-it-forward so that we can offer our services to more authors.
We have three options:
Standard Rates: As indicated on the list with our services.
80% Rate: For people with financial constraints but wish to do so on the honour system.
60% Rate: Help us assess your needs and your passion for your project.
Query Letter & Synopsis Help ($50–$150 per project)
Helps indie authors pitch their books to agents or self-publishing platforms.
Sample Edits (Free or $25–$50 for 1,000 words)
