Prices

The cost of editing is affected by many factors, such as which services you want and need, the type of material, how many changes are needed, and the desired turnaround time. For that reason, I price my services on a project fee basis after getting some basic information about the project, examining the manuscript or other document, and doing a short sample edit. Please see my Work With Me page for more details.

Every project is different, so I can't give firm one-size-fits-all price ranges, but my project pricing usually works out to rates per 1000 words somewhere in the ranges below for individual services. Booking multiple services for one project can result in a savings over what you would have paid for booking each service individually.

Copyediting – $25–35 per 1000 words

Formatting – $8–15 per 1000 words

Proofreading – $15–25 per 1000 words

References – $1.50–2.50 per reference
