Rates

Clients prefer a per-project estimate for editing services
Understandably, people like to get a sense of a project’s cost before they contract editing services. Many editors charge an hourly rate. I’ve learned most of my clients prefer a per-word rate. I like that system too. Pages in a document can greatly vary, but a word count is a word count.

However, each editing job is different. It’s more expedient for both of us if I review your document and understand your needs before I return a FREE sample edit and an estimate to you.

Conditions affecting the per-word rate

• Level of editing requested or recommended.
• Quality of the authorship.
• Technical depth of the content.
• Additional research, if any, required.
• Revisions required.
• Number of approvals required.
• Number of revisions required.
• Rush deadlines.
• Quantity and quality of charts and figures in text.

Editing charges range from .02 to .50 per word, depending on the conditions above. It’s critical that I make an initial assessment of your document before providing an estimate. I can do this even on rush jobs. Let me view your project and assess your needs; simply submit your document for a FREE sample edit and an estimate.

NB: Rewrites and original writing are quoted on a per-project basis.
Amounts expressed in Canadian funds. A minimum charge of $20.00 applies.

Payment
Projects estimated at $200 or more require a signed agreement. Payment is due on delivery of edited material.
