“What I tell you in the dark, say in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.”
Matthew 10:27 — English Standard Version
We believe God gives everyone a story to tell, and He also equips them with the tools needed to tell it well. Sometimes, He provides those tools through the assistance of others. Whether fiction or non-fiction, memoir or poetry, we hope that God will use our services to help you in preparing the largest part of any ministry—your story.
Anointed Colony Media is a publisher at heart. We want to partner with you to take your written endeavor from rough draft all the way to wide release. We will handle most aspects of editing, formatting, commissioning or creating cover art, marketing, and release in exchange for a percentage of the profits. As the creator, you retain all rights to your own work (except distribution, for a contracted period of exclusivity).
We also realize many writers wish to retain as much control over their stories as possible, without meddling from a publisher. We applaud you for your resolve and confidence in your work—in fact, that fierce desire for independence is how this company came to be. If you wish to self-publish, we offer various individual services that only require a flat rate payment and attribution. These services are listed below.
As a Christian publisher, however, we do have restrictions on the content we can assist with or publish. Please note that most of these restrictions are contextually based with regard to how issues of morality are handled, not necessarily an intent to ban those particular topics.
For more detailed information on our content restrictions, submission guidelines, and the email address to submit your proposal, please read the following document:
EDITING
DEVELOPMENTAL EDIT
If you are looking for a professional critique and in-depth analysis of your current work-in-progress, this is the option for you. Our editor will read your full or partial manuscript and provide you with several pages of feedback and suggestions for how to improve it on a birds-eye level. This is ideal for newer authors looking to improve their rough or first drafts, or that need guidance for more overall changes.
Rate: $0.001 per word, rounded up to nearest $10.00
LINE EDIT
A line edit polishes a manuscript further, to remedy any issues in structure down to the sentence level. Continuity of character, plot, and flow of the text is the chief concern here, while also pointing out flaws of redundancy like sentence structure or repetitive word choice.
Rate: $0.004 per word, rounded up to nearest $10.00
COPY EDIT
A copy edit is not concerned with aspects of overall structure, but instead focuses down to correcting grammar and punctuation. Typically the final step before moving on to a final proofread and formatting pass.
Rate: $0.007 per word, rounded up to nearest $10.00
PROOFREAD / FORMATTING
A proofread verifies that the text is ready for publication, smoothing over any typos or grammatical issues left by the other editing passes. Typically, editors charge a separate fee for formatting; however, we believe that the two should be done together in order to ensure there are no errors after applying the proper page styles. Contact us for rates if a standalone proofread or formatting pass is needed.
