Price Increases from 5th March

Posted on March 5, 2024 by Lucy Felthouse

Hi everyone,

As much as I hate doing this kind of thing, following a conversation with my accountant, I have been advised to increase some of my prices. Changes apply from 5th March 2024.

Here is a summary of the changes:

My editing fee is increasing from £5 per 1,000 words words to £5.50 per 1,000 words
My proofreading fee is increasing from £3 per 1,000 words words to £3.50 per 1,000 words

I’m sure you will agree these prices are still very competitive and I hope you will continue working with me.

Bear in mind that all these prices are in British pounds, as I’m in the UK. This, however, does NOT mean I only deal with UK clients – far from it. But I quote in British pounds since I invoice in British pounds. Exchange rates will be estimated at time of payment, and dependent on payment method.

Thanks,
Lucy

Client Testimonial for Blurb Writing Service

Posted on July 15, 2019 by Lucy Felthouse

“Lucy took six unimpressive blurbs for my books, and interjected them with new life. When she finished, I had more dramatic words, questions for the reader, and an attention grabbing headline for each. I was delighted. I never would have gotten to blurbs I like as well as these on my own.” S. R. Cronin, author of the 46. Ascending collection of speculative fiction novels.

Price Increases from 1st February

Posted on January 8, 2018 by Lucy Felthouse

Hi everyone,

As much as I hate doing this kind of thing, due to rises in the cost of living and so on, some of my prices will be increasing slightly from 1st February 2018. Here is a summary of the changes (if the service isn’t mentioned in the list below, the price isn’t increasing):

Cover reveals are increasing from £25 to £26.

Release blitzes are increasing from £25 to £26, with the review option add-on increasing from £5 to £6.

Blog tours are increasing from:

One week – £30 to £32.

Two weeks – £50 to £52.

Three weeks – £70 to £72.

Four weeks – £90 to £92.

Bear in mind that all these prices are in British pounds, as I’m in the UK. This, however, does NOT mean I only deal with UK clients – far from it. But I quote in British pounds since I invoice in British pounds – PayPal and their exchange rates will do the rest.

Thanks,

Lucy

How to Schedule a Post in WordPress

Posted on February 4, 2016 by

Here’s a quick how-to post detailing how to schedule a post in WordPress. Essential knowledge for regular bloggers, those that host blog tours, or if you’re going to be away from the computer for a few days. It means you can simply set up your post, then forget about it until it goes live. (Please note: Occasionally, WordPress will miss schedule with a post, so please keep an eye out for that. But it’s incredibly rare.)

(Click on any of the screenshots to enlarge them)

1. Log into your WordPress site as you would normally, then navigate to create a new post.

2. Write your post as you would normally.

3. Under the ‘publish’ box, click ‘edit’ next to the part that says ‘publish immediately’ and you’ll see a series of pull down lists and boxes where you can enter the date and time you’d like the post to publish. Fill them in with the date and time you want to schedule your post for.

4. Click ‘OK’, then click the ‘schedule’ button.

5. You’re all set! Navigate back to your ‘posts’ menu, and you’ll see your scheduled post sitting above your already-published posts with a message next to the post title saying ‘scheduled’ and the date over on the right hand side so you can see at a glance when it’s scheduled for.

1. Log in to your Blogger blog as normal, and click to create a new post.

2. Compile your post as normal. Then, when you’re done, click ‘schedule’ on the right hand side and it will open up this drop down menu. Select the date and time you want the post to go live (be sure to double check the time zone your blog is set up for, if the post needs to be live at a certain time), then click ‘done’.

3. The drop down menu will close, and the date and time you selected will be stored, ready to go. Click ‘publish’.

4. You’ll then be pinged back to your list of blog posts. Right there, in the list, will be your scheduled blog post, sitting there ready to go for whenever you’ve set it up. Voila!

I hope you have a fantastic holiday season, and here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect in the early part of next year…

In the meantime, if you send me a message, I’ll be slower than usual replying due to the holidays, so please bear with me.

Happy Reading!
