Project Fees and Turnaround Time
-
Editing fees depend on the genre in which you are working, the complexity and length of your project, the type/scope of editing you are requesting, and turnaround time. I will provide you with a project proposal once I have seen your manuscript and we have discussed what you would like to accomplish with an editor.
-
I require a $250.00 deposit to hold your place in my schedule.
-
I ask for a 50 percent deposit to begin work on your project, with the remaining due at the completion of the project. If you need a different payment plan, I'm happy to discuss this.
-
Turnaround time depends on the specifics of your project, as well as what I already have scheduled. It's best to contact me so we can discuss your needs.
