STARTS WITH AN IDEA<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

You never know where inspiration is going to come from.
But when you find it, you hold onto it tight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Accessible Editing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Indie authors, I see you. Writing a book is hard. Editing it? Even harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you don’t have to do it alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

ACCESSIBLE EDITING FOR ALL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SERVICE FOR HIRE<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Manuscript Critique ($0.02 per word)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

General feedback on structure, pacing, character development, and themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a line edit, but big-picture analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developmental Editing ($0.04 per word)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In-depth feedback on story structure, character arcs, world-building, and plot holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May include an editorial letter and in-line comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Line Editing ($0.05 per word)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focuses on sentence structure, word choice, and readability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makes the prose smoother while maintaining the author’s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copyediting ($0.04 per word)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grammar, punctuation, consistency, and clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less intensive than line editing but ensures polished writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proofreading ($0.02 per word)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final check for typos, formatting, and minor grammatical errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best for near-final drafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sliding Scale Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have three options:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard Rates: <\/strong>As indicated on the list with our services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

80% Rate:<\/strong> For people with financial constraints but wish to do so on the honour system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

60% Rate: <\/strong>Help us assess your needs and your passion for your project.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Query Letter & Synopsis Help ($50\u2013$150 per project)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helps indie authors pitch their books to agents or self-publishing platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sample Edits (Free or $25\u2013$50 for 1,000 words)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
