Being a self-published author means gathering your best resources to produce a high-quality product for your readers. I can help you do that. Email me at nancy@nancystopper.com to request additional details or schedule your work.

Proofreading
Cost: $0.0025 per word

Every author needs that final check to ensure that every comma, period, quotation mark, and paragraph is as it should be. Let me be your final set of eyes, polishing your book prior to publication. Manuscripts to be proofread should be almost ready for their big debut. I will not be verifying that you have consistently applied a personal style sheet, or identify word echoes, grammar, mechanics, or sentence structure. That’s copy editing. If you purchase proofreading services and I believe the manuscript is in need of copy editing (i.e. if there are several significant grammar errors per page), I will give you the option of an upgrade to a copy edit at a rate of $0.0045 per word.

Formatting using Vellum
Cost: $50 for initial setup, first generation of ebooks and print, and one modification (fiction)
          $15 for each modification 

         Formatting of a single fiction book I previously proofread: $25

          Single author box set: $75 for 2-4 books, $125 for 5+ books.
          Multi-author box set: $50 base cost plus $25 for each author over 2.
