Producing Your Novel Together
A Real World Approach
Correcting a common misconception
In the biopic, Genius, writer Thomas Wolfe (Jude Law), delivers cartons of hand-written manuscript pages to the office of 1930s legendary Scribner editor Max Perkins (Colin Firth).
In what was known as “Collaborative Editing,” Perkins and Wolfe arrive at the classic, Of Time and the River, several years later.
While a present-day publisher’s developmental editor may work closely with an author whose sales record is proven, less established writers and newbies must pay thousands of dollars out-of-pocket for that intensity of editing with (sorry!) no guarantee of a return on investment.
Erasing a fantasy
In the movie, A Murder of Crows, Lawson Russell (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) submits another’s manuscript to a New York publisher passing it off as his own. So well received was the manuscript, when Russell arrives at the publisher the doors swing open to cheers from the staff and the champagne flows… before the manuscript is even typeset. Not in this universe.
The real world of publishing
The task of editing falls on your shoulders: Developmental editing, Line editing, Copyediting, and Proofreading. If you choose to pursue representation for traditional publishing, neither agent nor publisher will look past the first page if your manuscript is not well refined.
Our low-cost service provides free tools and guidance so you can do much of the work yourself… simply to keep costs down.
