My fees are based on work hours required for careful, thorough editing. Editing hours vary per project depending on level and degree of editing required. To trim costs, consider working with critique groups and beta readers before hiring a professional editor.
Pricing is understandably a key decision-making factor when hiring an editor. An editor’s character, honesty, integrity, dependability, respect for confidentiality, and client endorsements are equally important. A history of returning clients is a key indicator of satisfaction and value. Please refer to my Endorsements page to read what my clients have to say.
