I will remark on diction, plot, and characterization only if it pertains to the readability of the text.   [size=4][i]Copyediting Prices[/i][/size] First 500 words: 10 gold per word After 500 words: 0.02USD per word [size=4][i]Style Guides[/i][/size] [list] [*]Please choose a style guide listed below. If you do not chose one, I will be using [u]Chicago Manual of Style, 17th Edition[/u]. [*]If you require a style guide that is not listed below, you will have to provide me with the guide. [*]All of the style guides I use are from the United States, so please keep that in mind when ordering copyediting.  [/list] [u]Chicago Manual of Style 16th Edition[/u]: The 16th editiong is most often used in history, journalism, anthropology, and related fields. This style guide is also used in fiction publishing, although most publishing houses have their own modifications to the guide.   [u]Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition[/u]: This is the most recent edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, used in history, journalism, anthropology, and related fields.   [u]MLA Handbook 8th Edition[/u]: The Modern Language Association's style guide is often used for literature, cultural and media studies. The handbook is generally used for students and citation purposes.   [u]APA Manual 6th Edition[/u]: The APA manual is most often used for social and behavioral studies, focusing on issues of multiple authors, relaying number-based results, and using non-biased language wherever possible.   [rule] [center][size=4][i]Line Editing[/i][/size][/center] Line editing is concerned with plot, characterization, pacing, diction, research, and large-scale issues in a written work. Grammar, spelling, and adherence to a style guide are secondary in favor of overarching issues. [size=4][i]Line Editing Prices[/i][/size] First 500 Words: 15 gold per word After 500 Words: 0.03USD per word   [rule] [center][size=4][i]Reviews[/i][/size][/center] Reviews are summaries of concerns and achievements in paragraph form. A review details a reader's impression of plot, characters, and themes. Diction, grammar, and adherence to style guides are only mentioned if they interefere with first-impressions. For authors interested in formal publication, reviews can also assess where an author is on the road to publication.   [size=4][i]Review Prices[/i][/size] First 5 Pages: 5 gold per word After 5 Pages: 0.02USD per word Pages are determined by manuscript style: 250 words per page
