Rates vary depending on the nature, complexity, length, and timeframe of the project. Visit the contact page to send me more details, a sample of your text, and we’ll go from there.
I charge an hourly rate, which can be negotiated for longer texts, based on the following hourly estimates (The Copyeditor’s Handbook, Einsohn and Schwartz, University of California Press, 2019):
- Substantive, structural, or stylistic editing of a difficult text: 1 to 2 pages/hour
- Substantive, structural, or stylistic editing of a standard text: 2 to 3 pages/hour
- Copy editing a difficult text: 2 to 4 pages/hour
- Copy editing a standard text: 4 to 7 pages/hour
- Proofreading a difficult text: 4 to 6 pages/hour
- Proofreading a standard text: 6 to 9 pages/hour
Please note standard editing format is 12 pt. font, double-spaced, 250 words per page.
Payment can be made by Interac e-transfer, PayPal, or cheque.
