 Pricing Information
PROOFREADING: $25.00 per hour
Entails a read-through of
material submitted with redline (red pen) corrections and/or changes
made directly to the hardcopy (throughout the text and in the
margins); copy returned to the author/originator for further
handling.
How to obtain a quote:
- Email me 10 pages in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, or Adobe
Acrobat format.
- I will time how long it takes to
copyedit them based on the total number of pages in the book (or
other material).
- I will then estimate the total
time to edit the entire project.
Example:
10 pages = 1 hour;
100 pages = 10 hours @ $25.00 per hour = $250.00
This represents the total to copyedit the entire project. Even if
it took 15 hours to actually copyedit, the total charge would
remain $250.00.
MINOR COPYEDITING: $30.00 per hour
EXTENSIVE COPYEDITING/REWRITING: $35.00 per hour
Applies to longhand
notes requiring minor ($30.00/hour) or more extensive ($35.00/hour)
copyediting. Therefore, the entire book (or other
material) is retyped, incorporating all the redline notations.
The rewritten book (or other material) will be saved to a new CD.
- Since it would be virtually
impossible to estimate total time required for this approach, a
flat charge is not available; time can only be billed on an hourly
basis.
