Rates

My rates reflect two facts. First, I provide outstanding service. My clients are always pleased with my work. Second, my freelance work is not my primary source of income. Because I have a day job, I don’t have to squeeze your budget just so I can make a living wage. The result: you get premium work at a competitive price.

I prefer to negotiate a flat fee for a project, but I understand that you might prefer to pay me by the hour or by the page. So here are my rates (rush rates higher).

Service Rate per hour Rate per page
(250 words)
Approx. pages per hour

Proofreading $25.00 $2.50 8–12
Light editing $30.00 $3.50 6–10
Medium editing $35.00 $6.00 4–8
Writing $40.00 $30.00 1–3

I’ll work with you to get a thorough understanding of the service you’re looking for, and I’ll use these rates as a guideline to provide you an estimate.

So don’t be afraid. Send me a manuscript, however long, and ask me for a quote. You might be pleasantly surprised.
