Explore Editing Packages
Your story deserves to be taken seriously. And so does your budget.
You’ve put months, maybe even years, into writing your manuscript. Now you want to make sure it’s ready for readers, but professional editing can come with a price tag that makes self-publishing feel financially impossible.
At The Storytellers Group, you’ll work with an indie author who is also a senior developmental editor for a national publisher. I bring professional editorial experience, honest feedback, and approachable, fixed-price editing packages to authors who want to publish their books well.
Foundation Edit
Developmental editing | Starting at $895
Let’s look at the big picture. We’ll strengthen your story’s structure, pacing, characterization, and overall narrative so you can move forward with a clearer understanding of what your manuscript needs.
Refinement Edit
Line editing | Starting at $695
Your story is structurally solid. Now it’s time to make the writing shine. We’ll refine sentence structure, flow, dialogue, clarity, and rhythm without losing the voice that makes your work yours.
Proofreading
Final manuscript polish | Starting at $325
The revisions are finished. The manuscript has been edited. Now it’s time for one final, careful review to catch lingering errors before publication.
Publish-Ready Edit
Complete editorial support | Starting at $1,595
Want support through the entire editorial process? This package combines developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading into one coordinated experience, with time for your revisions between stages.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
What kind of editing does your book actually need?
Developmental editing. Line editing. Copyediting. Proofreading.
If those terms all sound vaguely similar, you’re not alone.
Each type of editing serves a different purpose, and choosing the right one can save you a significant amount of time, money, and frustration.
We’ve put together straightforward guidance to help you understand what each stage involves and where your manuscript might fit.
