Pricing

The pricing structure at Shadow Ink Press is very market competitive and we do try to match competitor’s quotes, so please talk to us further if you have received a quotation from another source and are looking for a comparable price for a high standard of work.

Please also be aware that Shadow Ink Press is an Australian based business and thus our prices are set in $AUD and also include GST (Goods and Service Tax). This also means that all documents for the purpose of editing or language related enquiries and corrections will be completed in Australian English/UK English, not American English which is often very different. If you do have any further enquiries regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact us via e-mail.

1. Full Structural Editing………………………$0.03/word

2. Copy Edit…………………………….$0.02/word

3. Hard Copy Editing…………………………….20% extra to editing fees

• A hard copy edit entails the entire manuscript to be corrected by hand rather than using computer-based software such as Microsoft Word ‘Track Changes’. This also requires regular postage and conferencing between author and editor/proofreader, thus the extra 20% is necessary on top of the editing fees per word as the additional workload and time-frame increases.

4. Typesetting…………………………….$550.00 (text only)

• This price is for manuscripts up to 120,000 words. Anything over this amount will incur an additional 20% surcharge.

• Any manuscripts with multiple images incorporated will incur an additional 30% surcharge.

5. Proofreading…………………………….$0.015/word

6. Cover Design…………………………….$650.00 (2 options)

7. Full Publication…………………………….Quotation required

• Publication costs depend largely on the size of the manuscript and exactly what the author is requesting. Every author requires something different, so please feel free to contact us directly to ensure that the price reflects the services you are willing to pay for and require.
