My rates start at $55 an hour. Heavy-duty fact-checking and copy editing on short notice or weekends may result in additional agreed-upon fees. I have a one-hour minimum. Beyond an hour, I track my time in quarter-hour increments.

For longer manuscripts or bigger projects such as proofreading an entire website, we can discuss a cost per page or a flat fee. I will ask for sample chapters or webpages to get a feel for the scope of work and to ensure I am the best copy editor for your job. 

​

Because of the time and labor involved in copy-editing books, I may ask to receive partial payment at the beginning or midpoint of the project timeline.

​

Whatever the arrangement, you can rest assured that I will work in an efficient, conscientious and professional manner. Your satisfaction is my goal. I am happy to answer any and all questions you have during the project and after you review my suggestions. I am a full-time copy editor. It is not my second job or a hobby.
