I have very competitive rates! Prices are subject to change according to demand, but there's never been a better time to secure my services. Any rate increases would occur after advance notice on my social media site and website.
My current rate is $0.0055 USD per word. For example, a 50,000-word novel will cost $275.00. This is for one pass. My accuracy rate for one pass is extremely high. Due to time constraints and a heavy workload, I no longer offer two passes. I'm not perfect, but I am pretty accurate, as my many returning clients can confirm.
Rush jobs: I charge a 25% (.0014 per word) fee in addition to my normal rate for any rush jobs (expected turnaround time within 5 days) for manuscripts up to 70,000 words. For manuscripts over 70,000 words and up to 100,000 words, the rush fee is 30% (.0017 per word) of my normal rate.
Rush job requests force me to work outside my normal hours, working weekends and evenings. Rush job requests force me to shift other deadlines and reprioritize other manuscripts in my queue. This is inconvenient and difficult for a busy editor to manage while keeping all clients happy.
Thus, for example, if your manuscript is 50,000 words, the rush fee for said book will be $70 USD (.0014 per word). For manuscripts of 75,000 words, the rush fee will be $127.50 USD (.0017 per word).
I will not accept rush job requests for books over 100,000 words. My normal turnaround time is 7 to 10 business days.
For word counts, the count provided by Microsoft Word (the original word count when I receive your manuscript) is used.
I charge a non-refundable deposit of half the invoiced price up front, via PayPal, when I receive the manuscript and issue an invoice.
I will provide a Paypal invoice when I receive your manuscript. The invoice will reflect the entire amount due, with a minimum payment requirement of half the full amount (half up front, half after edits are finished). Payment in full is also an option upon receipt if you so choose.
