ArthurEdits offers a range of editing tiers at low but competitive prices. Arthur will look over five pages of your manuscript at no charge and suggest what tier of editing would be best. ArthurEdits will work with you on the parameters of the editing, pricing, payments and form of payment. We collaborate, but the work remains yours. Also, economic times are tough on everyone, including authors. I will work with you on a reasonable payment plan if a one time payment stresses the budget.
