Our team is comprised of 3 members. Collectively, we have more than 25 years of experience working as either independent freelancers, on contract with publishing houses, or as dedicated staff of a publisher.

We’re by no means the best, but anyone claiming to be the best editor should probably be looked at with a degree of skepticism.

We formed ProjectKPub because a core team member experienced first hand the pain of self-publishing a novel with no editing support. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford the editing, but he knew the book wouldn’t sell very well as it was his first novel and a significant developmental pass would have been needed.

He couldn’t rationalize spending multiple thousands of dollars on a book that would make less than $100 in sales. We know this isn’t an isolated experience, so we didn’t want price to be a barrier.

If you’re asking how we can be so affordable. We are a team of 3 editors. We have a strong working relationship and have experience tackling project together. Each editor improves the speed of the other and we collaborate closely. We share the workload to work quickly. The faster we work, the less time each of us invest, and the savings is passed down to the customer.

We provide a high-quality product at some of the most competitive prices out there.

We care about our work and the final result. We’re invested in your success and want to see you coming back for more.

Yes! Many authors have this idea that you should give your manuscript to an editor when it’s done. That simply isn’t true! When a member of our team started writing, he benefitted tremendously from having an editor review his work while halfway through his first novel.

See our ‘Editing Services’ page for the most up to date information.

At this time, the clients that choose our Premium editing package receive the full stack of services. These clients receive top-quality technical editing (copy editing, line editing, and proofreading); and our developmental editing services with an accompanying Editorial Assessment.

The Editorial Assessment is one of PKP’s advantages over other editing services. It combines in-manuscript edits and bookmarks with a comprehensive writeup. This document outlines your story weaknesses and proposes changes to correct them.

Despite our name, no we are not an Indie Publisher. We have aspirations to expand into small-scale publishing, but at this time we only offer editing services.

Think of us as a 3-for-1 editing solution for your manuscript.

The answer varies depending on who you ask. For us, there are two schools of thought. In one, you will only contact an editor when your manuscript is complete. In the other, you’re open to feedback at any stage of the writing process.

In the first, we would say that you want to do 1-2 passes of internal revisions before looking to pass it off to an editor. Try to trim the fat on your story to reduce the word-count (and cost), address your glaring grammar/punctuation errors, and try to resolve any continuity issues.

In the second school of thought, drop what you’re doing and try to get some feedback. We suggest this because it’s a lot easier (and painless) to address an issue at 12,000 words vs a completed manuscript of 120,000.
