​​​1. How do you charge for your services?

​

For most projects, I charge by the hour. For large or ongoing projects, clients can choose between my hourly rate and a project rate. Contact me for more information about project rates.

2. My project has X amount of words. How many hours would it take you to edit it?

 

According to the Editorial Freelancers Association, the median pace of work for business/marketing copyediting is 5–10 pages per hour, and the median pace of work for business/marketing proofreading is 7–10 pages per hour. Both assume 250 words per page. 

 

The total time will largely depend on how much work the writing requires. To improve the quality of the text before sending it to me, I recommend self-editing a few times. But you're always free to send it in the state it's in, as long as it's fully written and nearly ready to be published!

3. Which file formats do you accept?

 

Most clients send me their text in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, and I make tracked suggestions. I also accept PDFs; however, editing a PDF takes a bit longer.

​

For image editing (e.g., infographics, e-book covers), sending the file within a text document or as a separate JPG, PNG, or PDF works best.

​

If you prefer a different format, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
