RATES
& SERVICES
I charge per project. The quote I provide you is based on my careful assessment of your manuscript, relying on three main factors:
-
word count (250 words/page),
-
how close the manuscript is ready for publication, and
-
the number of hours I estimate it will take to conduct two rounds of editing.
Although word count is only one factor in providing a client a quote, the following rates (for cost per page) reflect industry standards. These rates may help you to do an initial assessment of your budget. Again, the project quote I provide you will be based on the three factors above.
Line Editing
(Medium Copyediting)
Starting at
$7.00 PER PAGE
Heavy Copyediting
Starting at
$10.00 PER PAGE
Sample Edit
I provide a sample edit free of charge.
I use a sample of 5-10 pages from a selected section of the manuscript. I will return a sample edit on 3-5 of those pages with feedback and a quote.
