Why Bundle? This synergistic approach ensures your story is strong at its foundation (Reader Response Review), impeccably honed at the sentence level (Red Pen Review), and reader-ready (Last Look Beta Read) giving you ultimate confidence in your work. Plus, you'll save 15% compared to purchasing these services separately!

Your Investment & Process for the Draft to Done Bundle:

Phase 1: Reader Response Review (RR) & Initial Payment. To begin your comprehensive journey, you'll book your Reader Response Review. This initial review gives you crucial big-picture insights to guide your next round of revisions. A 50% non-refundable deposit based on the Reader Response Review's estimated total ($0.005/word) is required to secure your spot and begin work. The remaining 50% balance for this phase is due upon its completion, prior to the delivery of your Reader Response Review report. Please note: The bundle discount will be applied in Phase 2.

Phase 2: Red Pen Review (RP) & Bundle Discount Applied. After you've completed your revisions based on the Reader Response Review, you'll proceed with your Red Pen Review. Your Red Pen Review per-word rate and total bundle price will be determined based on a sample assessment of your revised manuscript. To ensure you qualify for this bundle discount, you must submit your manuscript for this assessment within 6 months (180 calendar days) of receiving your completed Reader Response Review.

Red Pen Review Per-Word Rates (Based on Manuscript Condition):

Tier 1: Refined Manuscript: $0.010 per word

For manuscripts with a strong grasp of craft, needing focused refinement and a lighter touch on grammar and flow.

Tier 2: Standard Manuscript: $0.015 per word

For manuscripts with a solid foundation, requiring typical line-by-line attention to clarity, conciseness, grammar, and consistency.

Tier 3: Developing Manuscript: $0.020 per word

For manuscripts that need more intensive work, including significant rephrasing for clarity, addressing frequent mechanical issues, and smoothing substantial flow problems.

Your invoice for the Red Pen Review will clearly show the full individual prices for both the Reader Response Review and the Red Pen Review, followed by the combined 15% bundle discount applied to that subtotal. A 50% non-refundable deposit of the remaining balance is required to begin this phase, with the final balance due upon its completion.

Phase 3: Last Look Beta Read (LL) & Final Bundle Discount Applied. Once your manuscript is revised after the Red Pen Review, you'll submit it for the Last Look Beta Read. To maintain the 15% total bundle discount, this service must be booked within 3 months (90 calendar days) of receiving your completed Red Pen Review. Your invoice will be updated to include the Last Look Beta Read's individual price, and the total 15% bundle discount will be finalized across all three services. The remaining balance of the entire bundle will be due upon booking this final service.

Turnaround Time:

Due to the comprehensive and phased nature of this bundle, turnaround times for each stage will follow the individual service guidelines. Personalized timelines for your Red Pen Review and Last Look Beta Read will be provided after their respective assessments.
