Rates 2012

The best editors charge for their experience, spend a great deal of time with each manuscript, and have a backlog of work. To get the right editor, be patient and be willing to pay, because you will get what you pay for, and you'll be rewarded with a good editing job.
Bobbie Christmas - author of  'Write in Style' (Union Square Publishing).

For proofreading and editing work, 
I charge per 1000 words. 
This allows the client to know how much they will be charged, without waiting for an unexpected bill. 
The client also benefits if the work takes longer than anticipated.

Proofreading
£9 per 1000 words

 Copy editing
£13 per 1000 words for light copy editing
£15 per 1000 words for medium copy editing
£17 per 1000 words for advanced copy editing.


Please note: Work that is less than 2000 words in length, will be charged at the rate for 2000 words.  This applies to both proofreading and copy editing.


Academic Assistance
Sometimes I am asked to undertake writing work that falls outside the services listed. This may be
 feedback on an academic journal, letter writing for
 international clients etc.
My rate for this type of work is £19 per hour. 
Work that takes less than an hour will be charged as if for one hour.
