|---|---|
| Light Editing In a light edit, an editor will check spelling, grammar, punctuation, word usage, consistency, syntax, and format. This is the best option if you want the editor to take a very "hands-off" approach and only focus on correcting technical details. |
$12/page |
| Heavy Editing The big difference here is the level of judgment and rewriting involved. In a "heavy" edit an editor may rewrite portions of text to improve flow and enforce a uniform level, tone, and focus. |
$22/page |
| Manuscript Critique (fiction) In a manuscript critique, the editor will look at the work as a complete whole and offer advice and criticism around structure, plot, character development, and the overall story. The editor will also look critically at the structure and mechanics but not provide significant grammar and spelling corrections at this point. This effort is more about the "big picture" and not the little details. |

| Proofreading/Editing – Web Content Proofreading and copyediting for websites, blogs, and other online content before it goes live. Because web projects vary so much in size and scope, we’ll quote yours individually. |

| Proofreading/Editing – Books For books and other large projects, we start small with a chapter or a few pages so your editor can learn your style. Once you’re happy with the fit, we’ll quote the full manuscript. |

| Hourly Collaboration Another option is to take a very collaborative approach and hire the editor on an hourly basis. This typically comes after a heavy edit when you're looking to put finishing touches on rewrites or want to work through challenging adjustments. |
$65/hour |
Note: A standard page is defined as 250 words.
