Developmental Editing: $125 per hour
​
Line Edit: $125 per hour (this will include proofreading.)
​
When you email me for a quote, you will receive a contract where all terms are stipulated fully. This ensures that we can work together in as equitable a manner as possible, with clear expectations on both sides and no misunderstandings or surprises.
​
I expect a 50% down payment on work of at least 5000 words and the final 50% within 3 business days prior to your stipulated deadline.
​
If your project is a longer project (i.e., a book) that involves weekly work, you will be charged per week. But I will always find a way to save you money.
​
Zoom meetings or phone calls will be priced in as well if you find them necessary. These are also $100 per hour--except for the preliminary meeting which is free of charge.
​
Note that developmental and line editing work does NOT include fact-checking, footnotes, endnotes, or bibliography: although these can be added under separate contracts and payments.
​
My optimum pace is 50,000 words a week. Rush jobs will cost more: please contact me if you need a turnaround time that is less than a week for manuscripts over 50,000 words.
​
For now, I accept payments through Paypal.
Graduate Student Rates
Developmental Editing: $75 per hour.
​

Writing Consultancy Rates
Hourly rate : $125
Obviously, longer texts--or texts that are more problematic--require more time. Most assessments and detailed editing of college application essays or other shorter texts (e.g., short essays, blogs, promo materials, etc.) are estimated to take roughly 2 to 3 hours in any one week. This assessment can be followed by a phone or Zoom chat.
​
Payment is expected within a day after the receipt of edited texts.
