No puff, no fluff, no undeserved flattery here!

Just an honest evaluation of your book proposal and sample chapters -- and straight answers on how you can make both better. That's why we call it the "HonestEditing" service.

Most of us have received the typical beat-around-the-bush variety of rejection letters that really tell us nothing about what's wrong with our proposal and sample chapters...and so we believe what the publisher's form letter says about the material "not being suitable for their publishing needs at this time."

Another favorite is: "Thank you, but our quota of this category is full for now."

Now you have a service that will give you the truth: what's right and what's wrong with your proposal and sample chapters, and more importantly, what you can do to fix them!

 When you submit your book proposal and two sample chapters, you will receive a two- to four-page evaluation from a professional editor within ten business days. Your evaluation will tell you what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and what can be improved. It will also give you a number of practical recommendations and cutting-edge tools you can use right away. And it's all included in a one-time flat fee of $299.

A full and more exhaustive review of your entire manuscript can be done for just $699.

Our editors are trained professionals from a variety of publishing fields. We contract with them to work directly with you to improve the quality, scope, and style of your proposal and sample chapters. Many of these editors have "day jobs" in the field -- they work as book editors, college professors, professional freelancers and more -- and they are dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible outcome for your proposed new book project.
