Typing

Typing is tough for some folks. From finger amputations to severe arthritis, if you have your manuscript handwritten or recorded on an audio file, we can type it up for you and save you time and frustration.

Having a digital copy of your work provides more versatility and security for your project.

Typing

1. Purchase the typing service for the amount of pages you need digitized or minutes you need transcribed. 
2. Submit your handwritten pages or audio file to us. Instructions will be provided after your payment is completed. 
3. We will create a Google Doc containing your piece. Remember that this is not an editing service. We won't be making any deliberate changes to the piece, only typing it up for you. So if there are plot problems or missing words or spelling errors, those will all remain. 
4. We email you the digital file so you can use it to continue your book development journey.

Timeline: Generally about 1 week per 50 pages /  180 minutes, though this can change based on multiple variables (such as how long it takes you to submit the files, office holidays, how long your payment takes to be finalized, etc.). 

Handwritten Page Count: Each side of a handwritten page counts as one page. So, if you have a short story written on a sheet of copy paper and you wrote on both sides, that counts as two pages. If you send in a manuscript and it has more pages than you paid for, you will only receive a file that contains a digital version of the amount of pages you actually paid for. For example, if you pay for five pages and send in seven pages, we will type the first five pages of those seven since you only paid for five. 

Audio Minute Count: Audio minutes are the minutes between the start of your recording and the end of your recording. We will not be engaging in any editing of your recording to remove things like redundancies or long pauses between sections. We will type up the amount of minutes you have purchased. For example, if your recording is 740 minutes long, but you only purchase 700 minutes, we will type up the first 700 minutes of those 740 since you only paid for 700.
