Each project is unique, and prices may vary based on the amount of work required. I’ve provided basic cost estimates here, but for a more accurate quote, send in a contact form or book a consultation with me. You can also browse the Editorial Freelance Association rates for specific genres and categories here.
When you request a service, I’ll provide up to 1500 words of a sample edit and a price estimate. You can decide whether you’d like to continue with the service.
All services include an editorial letter and up to an hour of video conferencing with me.
