💲 Rates & Scheduling
My pricing is based on the Editorial Freelancers Association’s current rate guidelines (per word). Rates vary depending on manuscript length, complexity, and service type.
How quotes work:
I’ll review a sample of your manuscript and discuss your goals before providing
a custom quote. You’ll receive a clear scope of work, timeline, and rate before
we begin—no surprises.
Turnaround times:
Timelines vary by project length and service level. Manuscript evaluations and
proof-edits typically offer the fastest turnaround. I’ll provide an estimated
delivery window when we agree to work together.
