Cost of Services
If your manuscript needs any kind of editing by Dunton Publishing (DP), please scroll down to see the Editing section below.
And if you'd like some writing help — for example for books, speeches, bios, eulogies and obituaries — please go to the Cost of Writing page.
If there are photos and/or illustrations within the interior pages, add $25 each.
An example of a print book: take a completely edited, double-spaced manuscript that has a 12 pt
font size on 8.5 x 11 paper — then lay it out/design into a book form that uses 11 pt font size, with 1.5 line spacing, and fits into a 6 x 9 inch book. (Or whatever you would like!)
Design of Book Cover
Below are the costs of services if your manuscript has already been edited and proofread to your liking and is ready to go!

Editing
The timeframe for an edited manuscript to be made into a book — the interior page layout, front and back cover design, account setup and management, sample/proof copy for review/changes, and putting it on sale — tends to be 8 - 12 weeks, but each project is different.
To get started on the agreed-upon work, half the cost is needed upfront and the remaining half when the book is uploaded to Amazon for sale. (Check, cash, money order, or PayPal.)
Looking forward to your email or call with any questions or needs to info@duntonpublishing.com or 212-799-7402. Thanks!
$100 per hour - whether it's developmental editing or copyediting or proofreading.
