I have provided typical rates for various levels of editing in the table below. Please email me with the first few pages of your document at KLsciencewriting@gmail.com to obtain a free quote. That way I can determine which level of edit is the most appropriate and provide an estimated turnaround time.
Type of edit |
Typical pages per hour |
Rate |
Proofreading | 9–13 ms pgs/hr | $35/hr |
Basic copy editing | 5-10 ms pgs/hr | $50/hr |
Heavy copy editing | 2-5 ms pgs/hr | $60/hr |
Substantive or stylistic editing | 1-6 ms pgs/hr | $70-100/hr |
All writing work and other forms of editing and consulting are quoted on a case by case basis, however, typical costs are $50 – $100 per hour, which works out to approximately $0.50 – $1.00 per word.
I’m happy to provide a written quote for your project, once the full scope of work has been determined. Write to me at KLsciencewriting@gmail.com for more information!
