Services
Narrow Path Publishing offers several services in addition to book publishing.
Proofreading and Editing
Our mission is to inspire writers to be the best they can be and to gain confidence in their writing skills. We offer the following services:
- Proofreading — $30 base fee plus $5 per page. This is our basic service, and only covers reading for grammatical and typographical errors. The writer will receive a marked-up copy of their manuscript with all needed changes.
- Line-by-line editing — $50 base fee plus $10 per page. At this service level, the writer receives a marked-up copy with typographical errors highlighted and suggested changes (additions, deletions, etc.) indicated.
- Critique — $45 (1–20 pages), $70 (21–75 pages), $90 (76–100 pages). After 100 pages there is a $5 fee added for each additional 20 pages. So a 250 manuscript would cost $127.50 ($90 for the first 100 pages, plus $5 for each 20 pages thereafter). A critique is a summary of my opinion of the work and how it could be made better and stronger. It does not include line-by-line editing or proofreading.
We also offer combination services as shown below:
- Proofreading plus line-by-line editing — $60 plus $7 per page
- Proofreading or line-by-line editing with critique — $35 base fee plus $9 per page
