Editorial Rates
All editing and proofreading projects are charged by the page. A “page” is 250 words. To figure out your page count, divide your total word count by 250. You do not have to worry about whether or not your manuscript is in the right font or type size; submit it “as is.”
Normal or standard turnaround time for editing/proofreading projects is 7 to 10 business days from the date we receive your document according to the length of the project. If the project is a 1,000 page book, a little bit more time can be expected. We will also accept some rush jobs which are charged at a higher rate.
All rates are quoted in U.S. dollars. There is a minimum charge of $50.00 per job. As stated above, please anticipate an additional fee for rush jobs as well as any applicable courier charges. The following rates apply to electronic editing of Microsoft Word documents and hard copy. If your document is in PDF format, there may be an additional charge due to the complicated editing tools.
