What I Charge

I am reasonable. I’m not the least expensive (beware of what those guys may really be offering!), nor am I the priciest. My rates are based on a set standard formula with some variables, such as my experience level with the project in question and the type of writing you ask me to work with.

The first thing I do is offer you a free sample edit of your work. By providing me with a few pages from your manuscript, I can edit or proofread them at no cost to you. This allows you to see some of the ways in which I can enhance your writing, and it gives us a general idea of the estimated amount of time that would be required to complete your project.

I will then give you my quote and you can decide if I’m a good match for your project!
