Standard Turnaround Times
How quickly will I get my edited book back?
Most manuscripts will be edited within 14 to 21 business days - but oftentimes, we are able to turn them around even more quickly! We know how excited you are to get your ebook published, and anxious to have those checks come rolling in. We aim to get your edited ebook back in your hands as quickly as possible without sacrificing the quality of the editing process.
We’ll let you know immediately when your book is scheduled for editing. However, longer manuscripts, and those that require more editing, may take longer. We’ll call and e-mail you if we cannot return your edited book within 21 working days.

Second Edits
Second edits - what are they?
We don’t recommend a second edit for most writers. However, if you get your manuscript back and see what we refer to as a “sea of red” or many comments that require large changes, you may wish to have your book receive a second edit. In some cases, if we were your latest editor for the project, we can sometimes offer you a 7-10 day turnaround.

RUSH JOBS
Let's face it - you just completed your book and now you're chomping on the bit to get it out into the marketplace and up for sale. You don't want to wait another week. Aaack - you CAN'T wait another week. YOU WANT IT NOW!!
Depending on the length of the manuscript, we may be able to turn it around in as little as 7 days - but we've gotta' be honest with you - it is not cheap. Changing your order to a RUSH does not mean we only skim it and send it back to you. We are still just as careful, just as concise, just as picky with our edits. Your manuscript does not leave our hands until it is a polished piece of prose - no matter what the turnaround time frame. All rush order will have a 50% surcharge of the total cost added to the basic editing fee. But do call us before freaking out - the 14 to 21 day time frame is only a guidepost. Many of our clients with shorter length books will not need a rush order, as we are able to deliver the edits within a time that is comfortable and reasonable for them and us. We're a team - we want you to remember us, and use us again when you've hit the bestseller list!
