Services and Rates

In order to determine a price for an editing job, I need to know a few things:

• the length of the document
• the condition it’s in
• which tasks exactly you want me to perform

To orient you a little, here are the possible tasks:

What I call it	What I fix
Proofreading	small mechanical errors inconsistencies
Copyediting	Errors in  spelling grammar punctuation usage inconsistencies heading styles
Stylistic Editing	irregularities in voice and register awkward expressions redundancies unclear phrasing
Substantive/Structural Editing	structural problems content gaps
Citation Checking	inconsistencies between in-text citations with and reference list citations style errors
Fact Checking	For fiction only  errors of historical circumstances and details anachronisms
Desktop Publishing	I format and typeset your document either according to a template provided to me or agree on one of several design options I will present to you.

I can give you a quote based on an excerpt from the document and some information I request in the submission form. My quotes are always customized to your needs, never formulaic or based merely on word count.
