Probably 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.
