Content Editing

Manuscript Assessment

A full manuscript review including plot, structure, characters, flow, pacing, perspective, style, and quality. This affordable option gives basic feedback for your manuscript before you commit to the more expensive developmental editing stage.

Developmental Editing

A full manuscript review including plot, structure, characters, flow, pacing, perspective, style, and quality. This more intensive stage of editing comes with in-text comments and hands-on work with not only the story, but characters and worldbuilding as well.

Technical Editing

Line Editing

Line-by-line reviewing of the manuscript to improve tone, voice, language, and consistency. Like copyediting, this comes with in-text comments and suggestions to refine syntax and diction.

Copy Editing

Line-by-line reviewing of the manuscript to correct spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar, factual accuracy, awkward & lengthy sentences, repetition, and paragraphing. Like line editing, this comes with in-text comments and suggestions to catch typos and polish up your manuscript before designing.

After the editing process but before proofreading, the book must be designed. See Book Interior Design & Formatting.

Proofreading

As opposed to copyediting, proofreading takes place after the book has been typeset/formatted. This is a full book proof review to catch missed typos and correct mistakes in the spacing, typographic hierarchy, typeface, alignment, and other design errors.

Book Design & Interior Formatting

Tigerpetal Press uses Adobe InDesign, the industry-standard software for highly professional work and a clean look.

Additions:
Footnotes: +$1 per page with a footnote
Images: +$3 each
Custom tables/graphs/etc.: +$10 each
Custom font: client covers 50% of the licensing fee

Basic Calculation for Paperback Costs

(This only includes typesetting. Add the design fee on top of this cost.)

Basic Calculation for eBook Costs (50,000-word novel)

(Each book also includes frontmatter, backmatter, and a clickable Table of Contents, which count as three separate sections of their own.)

Return to Proofreading

Additions:
Choose a different font (body/title): +$5 each
Change one aspect of the design (style/spacing/etc.): +$5

Premade Design Examples (16 pages)

Books with unique pages include cookbooks and other “coffee table” books. While there is a cohesive design throughout, each page of the book needs to be uniquely typeset and requires a lot more work, hence the price.

Tigerpetal Press does not offer eBook typesetting in this style.
