L.R. PRICE PUBLICATIONS - EDITORIAL SERVICES

Business Description

Are you an author? Have you decided the time has come for you to submit or self-publish your work?

L.R. Price Publications has prolifically helped authors realize their dream of publishing their work; before now, we generally only offered our editorial services to those with whom we were entering into a publishing relationship.

Now we have opened up our professional editorial service to any and all authors, specializing in the following:

COPY-EDITING - for all types of manuscript and document.
FORMATTING / TYPESETTING - for both e-book (including Kindle) and/or paperback formats.
GHOSTWRITING - our editors are also published authors, who have ghostwritten a number of fiction books for existing clients.
TRANSLATION SERVICES - manuscripts in any language translated to perfect English.

We will send you an EMAIL CONSULTATION of recommendation for your manuscript before you agree to any editorial work being carried out - this service is provided free of charge.

E-MAIL CONSULTATION - there is no charge for this service.
Before going ahead and booking editorial work with us, we will check through your manuscript and advise you which services we propose are required to elevate it to an acceptable standard for self-publishing. This includes grammatical amendment and formatting recommendations for e-books and standard paperback sizes ONLY - we do not offer appraisal feedback about creative merit, or advice regarding submission to publishers and/or literary agents, other than in exceptional cases.
You can rest assured we will never recommend futile or unnecessary work, and will advise you if we think you have much more work to do before using our services.

PROOFREADING AND COPY-EDITING - we will grammar-edit your work to a very high standard of English, amending spelling, punctuation and paragraph formatting (where we deem it appropriate, we may replace entire words or restructure sentences for purposes of valid literacy).
PLEASE NOTE: we will go out of our way to ensure your work is coherent to a very high standard, and will not shy away from using initiative. WE WILL HAPPILY OFFER THIS SERVICE FOR ALL TYPES OF DOCUMENT, including assignments and CVs.

TRANSLATION SERVICES - whatever language your manuscript is written in, we can translate it to English whilst copy-editing to our usual high-quality. Because of our interactive approach to your work, we will ensure nothing is lost in translation.

E-BOOK FORMATTING (add-on service only^) - if you have never self-published before, you may find the prospect a daunting one; the biggest headache, by far, is formatting. There are few digital book platforms which set the standard of how e-books are submitted - they are incredibly strict, and will reject your book an infinite number of times, until the formatting is perfect. Our experts will properly format your e-book and ensure that it is ready for conversion and submission.

PRINT-READY TYPESETTING (add-on service only^) - we use highly professional standards and templates for our paperback formatting service. Your book will include foreword, legal/ISBN/imprint page, bio and acknowledgement pages, titles and a table of chapter contents (where appropriate). We use 11px Times New Roman font as our standard - if you wish to change this, it is very easy to do once we return your formatted manuscript to you, and we will give you full instructions of what to do next.

GHOSTWRITING - L.R. Price's editorial staff have already ghostwritten a number of books for existing clients. Published authors ourselves, we may be willing to ghost-write your work, uncredited, though the decision to do so will rest on many factors - most importantly of all, whether or not the editor can relate to your book. There is no set rate for the Ghostwriting service - this will be agreed between the author and editor via continued correspondence. If you would like us to consider ghost-writing your book, please send a fully in-depth synopsis (minimum 1000 words) via our online Submissions form.
