    Let's Talk About Book Length

    PUBLISHING 
    Last year, I published a thread here asking if $5,000 is worth it for an editor. Lots of water passed through the treadmill since then, and the book is already done. The thing is, it is 145k words, and i'm having hard time deciding whether I should publish it in one piece (ditch some of the...

    $5,000 For Book Editing?

    update: the 5k editor says there's a spot that might be opening in may, but it's going to cost 10k. ("t sounds like you're asking me potentially to do a fair bit of writing--on a 150k word manuscript no less. My fee for writing (ghostwriting, co-writing or punch-ups) is much higher than...

    Thanks. So 5k does look like a normal price according to this list. But look at all those proposals I got on elance, seems tough to pick one of them. MJ, who was the editor of TMF? I'd love to contact him. If there was one, he seems to have done a terrific job with your masterpiece.

    Unfortunately, the guy's full until next year. I'll have to find someone else. The book is non-fiction, but in a fiction style. I mean, it's a collection of 40 high-octane travel, sex and military stories from 40 countries around the globe. But they're all told with gambits of advice to give...

    His developmental edit costs 10k. His 5k is more of an editorial polish mixed with copy and line editing. What do you think? And btw who was the editor of TMF? Did you even use any?

    I'm sending it to beta readers (fans) in a few days. Then ill get their feedback. I haven't tested this 5k editor. All I know is that I love his writing, and that he has personally edited a bunch of bestsellers.

    No, I don't have any experience with editors. And you're right, it is a complete shot in the dark. The profits will definitely allow for this kind of editing, because there are already plenty of preorders, and that's without doing anything special. With a solid, dedicated website, a more...

    In short: Got a website with a million annual readers, many of them fans. Worked on a book for 8 hours a day for the past six months, aiming to create something truly exceptional to sell to them (even eliminated all ads from the site to make it cleaner and attract more fans until book is...

    Examining Need For a New Startup

    Me and a friend of mine got a new idea for a startup, and everything's ready for implementation. Before we dive in (the programmers are waiting for the final green light) - I think it's necessary to examine the need for that. How do I do that? There is nothing like it out there. It's supposed...
