Allegory Editing

Why don't you list pricing on your website?
Because each project is unique, we have found offering a blanket pricing structure is not the most effective or equitable method for charging our customers. (For example, editing War and Peace is a whole different beast compared to a light-hearted beach read—with very different time commitments required.) Rest assured, our pricing is well within industry standards and always fair. 

Before we begin, we meet with you over the phone or on a video chat to discuss your project and your goals. If applicable, we will ask to see a sample. Then we will present you with a fixed-price service proposal so you know exactly what to expect before you schedule.

I incorporated your suggestions. Will you look at my new draft?
Of course! It is not uncommon for a manuscript to go through multiple rounds of editing. And, if it’s within one year of the initial round of edits, we will offer you a discount. 

How do I know which service is right for me?
A combination of factors goes into this decision. It depends on where you are in your process, your background as a writer, your project goals, and your budget. Through our free onboarding consultation—and a sample edit where appropriate—we will help you to determine which option is most appropriate.
