For each category, the first hour, which includes assessing how much work is required and length of the project, will be $35. The length of time each editing project will take varies depending on what is needed and the length of the manuscript, therefore typical project lengths are given only as examples. Author will be asked to agree on the length before being charged after the initial first hour fee, and before completion of the project. We will charge you for the first 50% of the estimated or flat fee up front, and 50% on completion.
We are experienced in editing articles, short stories and book-length manuscripts. Would you like to see the managing editor's qualifications?
