A better way to get your book read by publishers — Trust the Bubblecow!
Don’t be ashamed of hiring an outside editor. This is no longer a pride issue–it’s not about your fitness as an author.
Paying to have your book edited by BubbleCow will mean:
BubbleCow is an Internet based company and our low overheads mean that we can pass on the benefits to our writers. We charge just £5 per 1000 words in the UK, $8 per 1000 words in the US and 6 Euro per 1000 words in Europe. Unlike our competitors we have a minimum word count of just 1000 words.
At BubbleCow we understand that each writer’s needs are different, our small minimum word count means that we can build long term relationships. As a writer you can use our editorial services as and when you please. Send a full book or just a chapter for quick feedback – it’s your choice.
Our unique ten day turn around guarantee means that you will not be waiting around for valuable feedback. So within ten working days of payment you will have a usable report of unrivaled detail sitting in your inbox.
Your final report will be made up of two parts.
The first is an overview assessment. This includes our editor’s thoughts on your manuscript, ideas about improving your work and any general structural points you should consider. This feedback also includes any points that we feel need particular attention.
The second part is the in-depth line edit. This is embedded in your original document and can be viewed by opening the document with any good word processing package. Our comments will appear on the right hand side of the text. The editor will have read through your work and on a line-by-line basis, added comments and pointers to improve your text. Though this is not a proofread, any grammar or spelling mistakes we spot will be highlighted. The report is designed to allow you to systematically work through your text and produce a new and better re-write.

Imagine how much easier it would be to get published if a writer could think like a publisher or agent. This was Caroline Smailes’ goal when she set up BubbleCow.
After securing a multiple book deal with HarperCollins, editor and writer Caroline realised that most writers stood almost no chance of getting published due to a lack of understanding of how the publishing industry really worked. BubbleCow was set up to give writers the best possible chance of securing a book deal.
