Get a Free Review of Your Book!

In our free review, it is one of those rare times where “free” is really free, and you actually get a solid value from the service, so send your manuscript to CSN Books or Legacy Line publishing for a free review.
What does the review consist of?
First, an editor will read your manuscript and give you feedback on the actual content of the document – the flow, the information, and most importantly, the writing and proofing. The editor will also provide you with a sample edit of a few pages that accomplishes two objectives:
Objective One:
It allows us to determine the editing needs of your book by actually going in and editing your work. Do not worry, we only edit the hard copy of your manuscript, and never make electronic changes to your disc without your permission.

Objective Two:
It allows us to demonstrate how we can help improve your book through the sample edits and proof we provide. This means there is no guessing or hoping; when you see your review you will know what your book may or may not need. Our professional editor will give you both editorial and content feedback.
When you receive your free review back, there is absolutely no obligation whatsoever on your part; you can say “thank you” and walk away, or you can say “thank you” and “Let’s get this project rolling.”
If you would like to submit your book for the free review, you can do it in three formats:
1) send us a hard copy,
2) send us an e-mail with the file attached, or
3) send a CD to us.
An electronic file (e-mail or disc) is preferable and typically gives us a much closer bid because we can properly calculate the word count, and the projected number of pages in your book. When we receive your manuscript, we will contact you and let you know the review process is underway. Please be patient; our extensive review normally takes a minimum of 10 working days.
When your free review is completed, you will receive the following:
1) A three to four page letter sharing the editor’s insights and positive suggestions concerning your manuscript;
2) One or two pages of edited or proofed copy so you can decide whether you want CSN Books or Legacy Line publishing to help bring your book up to bookstore quality. Of course, if it does not need an edit or proofing, we will tell you that as well.
3) A detailed, two-page bid on the pre-press charges for your book, and on the publishing of your manuscript;
4) A sheet that describes the CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing marketing plans, and outlines their costs.
We believe that you, as an author, do not want surprises. That is why we send you a firm bid on bringing your work to completion, embodying all charges, including transcription (if needed), editing, proofing, typesetting, cover design, printing, and marketing (if requested). We believe in absolute clarity and integrity in all our dealings with our authors.
