What Is a Story Coach?

After you have decided which level of editing suits your needs, and you have determined whether any added services are necessary, it is time to proceed. There are three simple options to consider:

Request a Free Sample – If you have never placed an order with FirstEditing, request a free sample so you can evaluate the quality of your editor before you submit the manuscript for the full edit.

Get an Instant Quote – If cost is a concern, then it is very simple to get an instant quote by providing the word count of your document, the type of document, and the type of service you want.

Place an Order – Finally, after you have found the quality and the terms acceptable, it is time to place your order
