Swordsmith generally does not work that way. Since a writer cannot produce his or her best work without some equity in a project, most Swordsmith projects are jointly developed with writers brought in very early and having a say in the direction of the project. If all you want to do is sell a project, take it to an agent, or directly to publishers. We generally don't take on projects which we don't have a significant role in developing. Production Services Swordsmith offers a full range of production and editorial production services, alone or in combination.
Pricing is based on complexity and level of editing.
Fact checking, checking quotes for accuracy, and checking for historical accuracy is also included. Manuscripts are read by two different copyeditors. Both traditional and electronic copyediting are provided, although we recommend traditional copyediting. May be accompanied by coding, if necessary. 1st or 2nd pass page proofs or galleys against a copyedited original manuscript to make certain edits have been included and to check for typesetting errors.
