Band One
Costing £350 this is a simple edit which clarifies simple grammatical mistakes and polishes off the manuscript. Established authors rarely edit their own work as it is easy to overlook simple yet glaring errors due to being too familiar with how your story should read! As with all services across the bands, Mighty Pens will not make changes without the author’s consent. In other words, your words are safe with us!
Band Two
Costing £550 this band looks at the book and offers edits and ‘mentoring’ suggestions. These suggestions are made from the perspective of fresh eyes and come from a wealth of professional industry of understanding what agents often don’t want to see. Of course, Mighty Pens likes to take the cheese knife approach to editing rather than the machete beating its way through a rainforest approach – the team all know what it’s like to let someone else read your work and make suggestions!
Band Three
Costings £675 – This is similar to the Band 2 services however with the addition of assisting and/or writing the standard cover letter to go along with the book – almost all agents want to have a cover letter and this can be so difficult to write for yourself especially if you’ve got to be bold and sell yourself. Most agents like to see a cover letters so that they can see when there is a good angle for future, potential marketing if the book progresses and also it helps them to gain insight into the author’s approach and personality.
