Rates
After contacting me you’ll be able to send me up to four pages* of your work for a free quote. All quotes are based on word count, turnaround time and the amount of editing/proofreading required. Each project comes with one revision. Any further revisions will incur additional fees.
The Editor’s fees are $45 per hour for Academic and Personal editing (personal statements, bios, resumes, cover letters, and essays. The fee is $50 per hour for Business editing (blog posts, proposals, large manuscripts). Hourly time is billed in quarter-hour segments. I am happy to provide customized packages based on any special requirements.
* One page equals an average of 250 words (10 words average per line, 25 lines average per page, double-spaced, Times New Roman). Documents should be on 8×11 paper, double-spaced, in Arial, Courier, or Times New Roman, 12 point font.
Format
I use Microsoft Word .docx files employing the “track changes” feature to complete all copyediting or proofreading work. You will receive both a “tracked” copy and a “clean” copy of the document at the end of the process.
Communication
Once I begin your project, you will have access to an exclusive portal where you can communicate with me as well as access all documents associated with your project. If you prefer, I can also book a discovery call with you to discuss your proofreading and editing requirements.
Payment
I accept payment via credit card or e-check. All jobs that are $100 or less require full payment in advance. Work that is more than $100 requires a 50% non-refundable deposit. The remaining 50% is due upon completion and delivery of the work.
