What types of clients and projects do you work with?I provide for the needs of a wide range of clients, including authors, designers, businesses, websites, institutions, developers, educators, and researchers. My services cover everything from original fiction novels and advertising copy to professional media and academic publications.
What is the process?Simply contact me with the details of your manuscript or project to get started. While I highly recommend we meet over video call after I receive your email so I can better get to know you and your project, I am happy to accommodate other modes of communication. Depending on the job’s level of involvement, I will stay in contact with you during the editing process to ensure I deliver exactly what you need.
How are your prices determined?In most cases, prices are calculated based on word count, type of manuscript, and services you need. Fiction, simple nonfiction, and small web pages are charged lowest, followed by larger web, blog, and business projects, with academic, educational, and technical manuscripts at the high end. I will always provide a quote before any agreement is made.
How much can I expect to pay?The following are estimates assuming a standard of 250 words per page. Lower and higher total costs are possible. Expect your quote to vary according to project type, complexity, rate adjustment, and combination of services selected. Pricing runs from base services (proofreading, formatting) up to more involved services (line editing, developmental editing at the sentence level). All prices are in USD.
Fiction, simple nonfiction $2.50–$7.50 per page depending on service Business, web $3.00–$11.00 per page depending on service Technical, academic $4.50–$14.00 per page depending on service Fact-checking $45.00 per hour (flat rate) Transcription $1.20–$1.55 per audio minute
How and when are payments made?Payments are conducted via Venmo or PayPal prior to final delivery. If you are unable to make a payment through either of these, inform me as soon as possible so we can arrange an alternative payment method.
Do you provide sample edits?For most services, such as line editing, copyediting, formatting, proofreading, and indexing, I offer prospective clients an unpaid set of sample edits as well as an overall 50% discount on the first ten pages (up to half the total manuscript length).
How long will the work take?Depending on the service and manuscript length, completion may take as little as a working day; more involved work can take multiple days or more. In cases where a job is time-intensive, clients are kept up-to-date on a weekly or semi-weekly basis. While I do not supply a guaranteed time frame for fulfilment under most circumstances, I encourage you to notify me if you require a job to meet a specified time constraint so that I can accommodate you.
Are AI language or search tools used to provide any of your services?All work for clients is 100% human-powered and quality-checked, with zero AI service cost overhead. What many are now charging as middlemen to an unsupervised and often easily-recognizable large language model, I charge for professionally-conducted editing, writing, revision, and research backed up by years of experience and time-tested methodology, to make your effort and ideas stand out and ensure your project’s particular needs are satisfied. I respect the material you’re trusting me to work with; you will never pay money for impersonal results delivered by an unreliable third-party chatbot.
Are you able to offer a service other than what is listed?I am happy to talk one-on-one about your project’s specialized needs and how I can help you meet them. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have about additional services.
Do you work with clients or teams on a long-term or contract basis?Please reach out to me directly to discuss working together on a collaborative basis.
Will you do my essay assignment for me?No.
