What does it entail?
A ‘copy-edit’ is a detailed and thorough edit of your manuscript. Our extensive copy-edit will eliminate spelling, grammatical & typographical errors, restructure messy sentences, and ensure punctuation is consistent & correct.
We also identify any outstanding editorial issues, such as unclear sentences, for the author to address in advance of publication. Our copy-edit also includes a basic stylistic edit. We will ensure use of capitals, italics etc. is consistent throughout.
Fees
Our ‘Classic Copy-Edit’ is priced at €14.50 per 1,000 words. For texts that require more extensive editing (eg. texts where English is not the author’s first language) then we recommend the ‘Premium Copy-Edit’. This starts at €18.00 per 1,000 words. The ‘Premium Copy-Edit’ also includes a comprehensive stylistic edit, with a recommended style guide applied to references, use of numbers, use of dates etc, throughout the manuscript.
I recently hired Jeremy Murphy as an editor and literary agent for my new book on current affairs, and I am more than happy with the service he has provided. Jeremy understood immediately what I was trying to achieve, and his incisive and constructive criticisms have really helped me improve the manuscript. In addition to feedback on style, structure and strength of argument, he also provided me with helpful advice on the book trade.

… It was my first time using an editorial service and it exceeded my expectations. I received very insightful feedback that identified a number of areas for improvement along with a balanced review of my work. Friends and family will tell you what you want to hear, Jeremy tells you what you need to hear and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services.
