Hiring an editor Editors can work for an hourly rate or a negotiated fixed fee. Be clear what you want them to do for you and document it. Check our Freelance Register for people who can help you. To help think about what you need, have a look at some material produced by our colleagues, the Canberra Society of Editors and the Editors' Association of Canada .
Editors are wordsmiths.
We turn ordinary documents into models of clarity and style. We work on material that is intended for all kinds of print media, or for the Web, or for television or radio. An editor can help make your message worth the effort of finding and reading it. We can even prepare templates to help you streamline things next time. It's especially difficult if you're working as a group.
