Tell us about your project

We specialize in books and substantial publications, including children’s books, dissertations, manuals, workbooks, catalogs, magazines and newsletters. Tell us what you are creating and we will help identify the appropriate scope.

This is an estimate request, not a purchase or an automatic price commitment. No file upload or login is required at this stage.

Required fields. If you know only the number of manuscript pages, that is fine; select “Not sure yet” for word count and tell us the page count instead.

Not sure what kind of editing you need? That's normal. Your answers help us understand your work; they aren't an editorial diagnosis. Explore our plain-language glossary (opens in a new tab).

Publication type For an article, choose the magazine, journal or newsletter where it will appear. Select “Other substantial publication” if your publication is not listed. Genre / Topic Choose the closest category. If none fits, select “Other.” What is a genre? Subject Area / Specialist Field Select a specialist field only if the project depends on subject-specific knowledge. Fiction, poetry, memoir and general-interest projects may choose “Not applicable.” What is specialist editing? Intended Audience Specialist editor likely needed? AI assistance Working title (optional) Manuscript / Publication Stage What are you preparing this publication for? Considering a traditional publisher? Read Allwrite Publishing's separate submission guidelines (opens in a new tab). Choosing “Pitch” here does not submit your work or guarantee publishing consideration. Compare publishing paths. Full publication word count Word count vs. manuscript pages. You can give just your page count if you do not know the words. Word count status Manuscript pages (if known) Pages in your present manuscript, not pages in the finished book. How page-based editing works. How are those manuscript pages formatted? Standard page pricing can help when a typed manuscript arrives by mail and the word count isn't available. We will review unusual formats individually. Material available Sample vs. full manuscript Desired timeframe

I authorize BWP to use this information to prepare and respond to my request. No payment is collected. Email me a copy of the same preliminary estimate shown on screen. This is not a marketing subscription.

No manuscript upload is required for an information-based estimate. A complimentary preliminary editorial review may require a project brief and a representative sample of up to approximately 1,000 words; submission instructions follow separately.

Your result appears immediately on screen. An emailed copy, if requested, contains the same public-safe information and no confidential internal calculations. Estimates are preliminary and subject to professional review. At or above the public pricing threshold, we'll invite you to discuss a personalized proposal.
