Our Services…
Beta Reading
For our beta reading service, we charge £0.001 per word. So, for example, a novel of 70,000 words would cost £70 for a beta read (+ £25 deposit, please scroll for more info.).
Turnaround times will depend on our schedule at the time of booking.
Please note: A non-refundable deposit of £25, for projects up to 100k words, is to be paid upfront before we can begin to read through your manuscript.
At this time, we cannot accept manuscripts over 100,000 words. Sorry!
Copywriting
Content is essential for all types of businesses to thrive. However, writing isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Luckily for you, here at Horseshoe Books, we’re experienced at working on a wide range of copy, from articles and blog posts to social media copy and product descriptions.
For our copywriting service, we charge £0.10 per word and £25 per hour for research. You would also be expected to provide a detailed brief and any TOV documentation, to make sure our work aligns with your brand’s unique voice. For instance, a 500-word blog post that requires two hours of research would cost approximately £100.
We’re happy to revise the copy twice, free of charge – though we will charge an hourly rate of £35 to edit or rewrite content beyond this.
Turnaround times will depend on our schedule at the time of booking.
Please note: A non-refundable deposit is to be paid upfront before we can begin to work on your copywriting project. Thank you for understanding.
Book Reviews
As authors, we understand how challenging it can be to get book reviews – even though they’re so important for helping readers discover your story. Therefore, we’d be happy to review your book for free!
All we ask is that you send us a free copy of your book (in eBook or paperback format), please. We’ll then let you know an approximate timeframe as to when you should expect to receive our honest review.
Once we have reviewed your book, you’re free to publish our review however you wish!
Our favourite genres are cosy mystery, rom-com, sci-fi, fantasy, and historical fiction.
