Has the Global Affordability Crisis impacted your editing budget? Apply for my “Fair Exchange” program: In an effort to support authors, I’m introducing the “Fair Exchange” program. Here’s how it works: If you can’t afford my normal rates, I’ll offer you a 10-40% discount (the exact percentage will depend on your circumstances) in exchange for your help in increasing Noumenon Edits’ online visibility. This could mean:
Providing a thorough, honest review of my services that I can potentially use to market Noumenon Edits to prospective clients.
Creating posts on social media (Instagram, Threads, etc.) discussing your experience with Noumenon Edits.
Mentioning Noumenon Edits on your novel’s acknowledgements page.
Recommending Noumenon Edits to your fellow authors (assuming that’s something you’d feel comfortable doing, of course!).
It could also mean something else entirely. I’m open to suggestions! At the end of the day, the point is to create a trade that works for both of us.
If you’re interested in participating in the program, let me know in the contact form, and we’ll work something out.
