I agree. This is my biggest question. How are folks getting books edited for $500 or less? I do a lot of developmental editing myself and just pay for a line edit and proofread, and it still comes in over a grand…

Paperbacks must necessarily high ($14) to make any money at all.

I agree with you about the editing costs, Ally. $2,000 is extremely cheap to have a book edited. You might get one pass of copyediting or a line edit if you’re lucky. It certainly wouldn’t cover developmental editing or the full process of editing including the proofread. That’s why I’m hesitant to share this article, which is a shame because it has some good information in it.
