- protomyth 16y agoGiven this, what is the cost for the services of a professional editor? Is the model going to be a flat-fee or percentage of book sales?
- krav 16y agoProbably flat-fee. A talented editor can make your manuscript better, but that doesn't guarantee sales.
- joubert 16y agoI think a good model could also be for an author & editor to team up with a book project, where they both share in the revenue. I think this would incentivize both to do their best.
- protomyth 16y agoI like that model, the question is what is the cut?
- joubert 16y agoI think that is up to them. I can imagine an author and editor producing a book and selling it on Fifobooks (my startup), and have an agreement between the two of them. I see it similar to cofounders launching a startup; they each bring something to the table and it is up to them to agree on a valuation/profit share.
- joubert 16y agoAlso consider students from creative writing classes. I have a friend whose editor is in the Creative Writing Class at The New School.
- jacoblyles 16y agoWhat kind of content restrictions does Apple have for media? The rules must be less onerous than the restrictions for apps. Social norms allow for a lot of sex in music, movies, and books. If Apple were to enforce app content standards for media, then hoards of famous works would be excluded, including most of rock n' roll.
