New Campaign: Cubism Is So Superannuated, a novella by Baba Yaga

[tentaclecore]

Hello! Here to share my latest venture into the crowdfunding arena! It's quite terrifying, oh wow.

My IndieGoGo Campaign for the novella Cubism Is So Superannuated is now live! The story is about superheroes, as many tropes/cliches that I can fit in and still have fun, and some menacing mean man in the background. It's all very menacing. And mean.

Linked on the campaign page is the first five thousand words of the story, so anyone looking will know what they're getting into! It's all about knowing that, or so I'm told.

The funding is to go for editing services -- lots.. of editing services.. -- a (pawnshop special) laptop that isn't going to die like the one I've got, and to pay my webhosting bill that has all the needed self-published webauthor platform stuff.

I'm an experienced author who hasn't tried very hard to be published the traditional route due to the length of my projects. They're always novellas. It's tragic, is what it is. My intention is to start publishing on Smashwords, but well, editing. It costs money. And I haven't got any, hah.

Please have a look if this appeals, and if you can, contribute! Or tell your friends, I'll take either, to be perfectly honest :)

I have boosted the signal for this project.

As for editing, it's a good idea to price necessary services so that you'll know how to set your budget. There's a lot of variation online. For reference, my base price is $500 for books; for shorter works there are other options (http://penultimateproductions.weebly.com/pricing.html). If you look around, you can find other freelance editors with prices posted, and see who seems promising for your project.

Thank you for the signal boost! Appreciate the help :)

And thank you for the link. I'll read it thoroughly. In all my past research before I started the campaign, the price quotes were averaging between $500 and $700, so I'm just assuming the high end. Multiple edits tend to cost more, right? So just figure in for that?

*bow, flourish* Happy to be of service.

I hope it helps.

I've seen higher, but almost nothing lower.

Depends on the editor. Some include multiple rounds; most don't. I start with a detailed first perusal, then if there are issues to discuss, one more round of touch-ups, as part of my basic price. More than that would cost extra. I may adjust the base rate up or down if a given manuscript is extra rough or extra clean.
