Rates are set by me and are standard with The Editorial Freelancers Association‘s median rates as of May 2023. I reserve the right to change my rates at any time. I will never change my rates mid-project without the express written agreement of the client.
Copy Editing
Copy editing focuses on adhering to a consistent written style and ensuring clarity. I might suggest rewriting sentences or passages to make them clearer. Can include some fact checking (contact me to discuss).
Rates: $.021/word
Copy editing + proofreading: $.022/word
Proofreading
Proofreading is often the final step before publication. I will check for typos as well as overall page formatting and layout.
Rates: $.015/word
Developmental Edits
Developmental edits are suited for experienced authors who could use help strengthening elements of their book. I provide in-depth, comprehensive feedback with specific suggestions for how you can improve your book. We will meet virtually three times to discuss your progress.
Rates: $.031/word
Manuscript Critiques
Manuscript critiques are often best for beginner writers or those early in the drafting process who want to know what elements of craft they need to improve upon. I will identify any big-picture areas of your manuscript that could use improvement and will provide you a one-page summary of my recommendations.
Rates: $.02/word
