What shapes the fee

The manuscript tells us how much work the manuscript needs.

01

Length

Word count, chapters, references, notes, tables, and appendices.

02

Condition

Whether the material needs architecture, development, line-level refinement, or final proofing.

03

Complexity

Illustrations, diagrams, citations, indexing, custom layouts, and multiple editions.

04

Timing

The review calendar, author availability, dependencies, and any immovable publication date.

What every proposal states

No important detail in the margins.

Before work begins, the proposal and agreement make the commercial relationship inspectable.
