The final project cost is based on a per word count (with a minimum of $25 per project). You’ll be happy to find my rates are lower than industry standards.
Proofreading: $0.008 per word
Copyediting: $0.014 per word
Substantive content editing: $0.025 per word
In order to deliver the best final product for manuscripts, I recommend proofreading in addition to copyediting or content editing. For clients choosing more than one service for a project, I give a 10% discount.
For all services, I’ll do a no-cost, no-obligation sample edit of several pages in order to determine the level of editing required. If you agree with my evaluation and editing style and choose to proceed, I’ll provide a contract for the project, which will include a time frame for completion. I require a 50% down payment before editing begins, with the balance due at the completion of the project.
Payments can be made through PayPal or Stripe or by mailing a check. An online payment service fee of 3% will be added to the invoice for paying online with a debit or credit card. However, you may deduct the 3% online fee by submitting an electronic check through Stripe or by sending a check, payable to “Elizabeth Smith,” to the address on the emailed invoice.
