Happy Express Memoir Co-writers

Co-writing Memoirs

If your manuscript is under development, or perhaps you have a fabulous life story to tell but are having trouble putting pen to paper, I will work with you, for 5hrs p/week at $60p/hr, co-writing and editing your story, liaising via both video call and emails, until we produce an artful and professional memoir ready to publish.

Manuscript Appraisals

Manuscript Appraisals cost $70p/hr at a rate of 6,000 words p/hr.

Editing

For editing, the cost of your job depends on a) your wordcount, b) whether it is fiction or nonfiction, and c) the level of editing required. Please note that the following prices are a guide only.

Structural or copy edits cost $60/hr at an average rate of 2,500 words p/hr. Included in this price is a Notes for the Author document that highlights your most common or significant structural or copy edit issues, and summarises the major changes made to your manuscript and why. I can provide a ‘sample copy edit’ of a chapter or two, before you commit to editing your entire manuscript.
