The cost of editing a project depends on the level of editing required and the complexity of the material. We have three different packages available to you. Prices are based on the amount of time and work your specific project will require to be edited properly. A per-word rate is used because many factors can affect the number of words on a page (e.g., font, spacing, and margins).
Our range for proofreading/copyediting/developmental editing is 2 to 6 cents per word. Other companies can charge up to 12 cents per word. You do not need to commit to the whole project up front. You can break up the manuscript into multiple segments, or start with the first few chapters.
