All fees are determined by each project, none of which is like another. Fees have been as little as $100 for a (ghost-written) 20-minute speech, to $10,000 for the developmental editing of a 326-page work. Developmental editing takes place from inception through publication, and includes manuscript restructuring as needed, all drafts and rewrites, research specific to the project, and working with agent and publisher. Ghost writing a full book, requiring responsibility from first outline through completion for a manuscript, begins at $20,000. This requires extensive interviews with the author and other sources. |

Publication is never guaranteed if the author's work is done on spec. For material already sold and/or assigned by a publisher, acceptance by the publisher is assured (with the exception of vanity press or self-publication). SHANNON EDITS performs until the publisher's contractual agreement with the author is fulfilled. |
