This is the page to use if I have quoted you a custom rate for editing your document, with secure credit card payment processing through our website.
Custom Rates:
If I have quoted you a custom rate to edit your document, please go directly to Step 3 below and enter the information in the form.
Standard Copy Editing Rates:
Please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Determine the word count for your document.
In MS Word, see the Review menu or bottom task bar to display Word Count. Or, for double-spaced text, you can estimate by figuring 300 words per page. If you have extensive footnotes, you may need to select these and add to your total.
Note: You may also simply enter a custom rate or total I have quoted for you.
Round to the nearest thousand words. (For example, if your document has 3499 words, estimate “3000.” If you count 3500 words, estimate “4000.”)
Step 2: Calculate payment for your document.
Multiply the number of thousand words (4000 >> 4) by the editing rate you want:
- Light / Proofreading: $15 per 1000 words
- Medium / Basic Copyediting: $25 per 1000 words
- Heavy / Advanced Editing/Rewriting: $65 per 1000 words, or $6.50 per 100 words
Example:
4000 words in document
Basic Copy Editing rate of $25 / 1000 words
Total Payment = 4 X $25 = $100.
Step 3: Please enter information in the following boxes.
