Ed and the CTE staff are experts in a variety of Developmental Editing and Copy Editing arenas. We pride ourselves on working with an extensive portfolio of writer and published author clientele who know they have created a really unique literary work, but still feel something is holding back their latest project from attaining that certain, often hard to pin down something that will make it commercial.
Every literary project has a unique set of editorial considerations so Ed's rates vary according to each project's particular requirements. We only quote on your project after we have had the opportunity to assess the particular needs hidden (and sometimes not so hidden) within your literary property.
And we don't take on everybody. We're a boutique firm by design. We believe this is the only way to guarantee our industry renowned level of personal editorial attention. What makes us unique? We work very collaboratively. If we work with you, we guarantee you will encounter one of the most creatively electrifying rides of your life. The most important objective is to deliver your project precision editing, or for ghostwriting assignments, incredibly engaging text. So don't worry about the budget. If, after assessing your project, we decide it would be crazy not to work with you, Ed and staff will develop an affordable budget and very doable plan to get your work professionally edited. Like most professional developmental editors and ghostwriters, CTE does not work for a percentage of future sales, but we do welcome most major credit cards and Paypal.
