Freelance editing rates

Give the gift of editing for your favorite writer or to yourself.

All prices include a Skype call if desired.

Short stories up to 7500 words. $35/hour. 2 hour minimum (Usually doesn’t take me more than 2 hours).

Editorial read on a novel. $35/hour. Average is about 10 hours. (This is not copy editing. This is a chapter by chapter analysis of the novel, looking for holes, repeated writing bad habits, and such.)

Novel copy edits will be based on word count or page count and the due date. The sooner you need the edit, the higher the fee. (Average is $1-3/page – 12 point, double space, courier font.)
