DOUGLAS BOND EDITING SERVICES:

1. Synopsis and three-chapter critique. Send Douglas Bond a 150-word synopsis of

your fiction or non-fiction book, screenplay, script, lyric poem, etc. Include three

chapters (2,500 word maximum) for critique, assessment, and next-steps advisory. $100

2. Common Application essay critique and consult. Increasingly, institutions of

higher learning are depending on the quality of a prospective student’s common

application essays to determine acceptance and eligibility for scholarships. These

essays literally can be worth thousands of dollars in scholarship funds—if they are well-crafted and stand out above the crowd. Bond has taught essay writing for decades, his students winning numerous essays contests, including a sweep of the first, second, and third prizes in the double-blind-judged Optimist Essay Writing Contest 2015 (over 700 high-school-aged students from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia submitted essays). $75 per essay

3. Whole manuscript copy editing. Copy editing for clarity and consistency is an essential cleaning of the manuscript, readying it for publication. I recommend this service  for experienced writers. $.017 per word (50% deposit, balance upon completion)

4. Whole manuscript content and developmental editing (includes copy editing) provides in-depth critique of character and plot development, and consistency of style between the various voices in a story. $.0325 per word (50% deposit, balance upon completion)
