Goldcrest Books’ Editors and Proofreaders
Our authors stand out from the crowd in self-published and traditionally published books because their books have been professionally produced with high publishing standards.
Do you need help with your spelling and grammar, to organise your content or story line? Don’t despair or waste any more time, we can help you.
We have a qualified and long-standing team of editors and proofreaders to help you make your book stand out with the professional finish our authors love.
Editing is priced separately and is not included in the price ranges above. The cost depends on the type of edit required for example, copy, line or developmental, we will advise you.
We can then give you a quotation to edit the whole manuscript. Typical costs range from £650 - £1,800 which we can determine when we have seen a sample of your writing.
Printing
A quotation for printing copies of your finished book will be supplied when we know the size and total number of pages for your book. We provide competitive rates for short print runs from 50 books to several 1,000s.
