Editing and Proofreading Services
Below:
How we charge. Our Rates. What to Expect. How to
Start.
If you only want help polishing a document, we can fix
spelling, punctuation, grammar, and awkward sentence
structure.
Andrea has always been a good
speller.
HOW WE
CHARGE FOR SERVICES
I can charge by
the project,
by the hour, by the page, by the word
or by the error
found and fixed... whichever
you prefer.
Estimates are provided after seeing the document or
manuscript, understanding the full scope of the project and
determining the complexity of the work.
A $500 deposit is
required for new clients.
Services are listed in
order of simplest to most complex:
- Final proofreading before printing
- Fact checking (figures, names, titles) Usually included with proofreading.
- Copy editing (spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity)
- Content editing (organization, style)
- Rewriting of how-to manuscripts

WHAT TO
EXPECT
We make
corrections directly on your Word document manuscript pages
using "Track Changes" in Microsoft Word 2011 for
Mac and also
Microsoft
Word 2019 for Mac.
When you receive the edited or proofread copy you can see
easily the deletions, insertions, corrections and comments
we made, and accept or reject whatever you choose.
OUR
2023 SERVICES AND RATES:
Our
rates
may increase July 2023, so it makes sense to commit now
even if you haven't finished writing your manuscript before
2023.
We
devote no less than 20 hours, often far more hours, to your
manuscript; therefore our rates, by comparison, are usually
much less. And the quality of our work is on par with – and
sometimes superior to – other editors.
PROOFREADING
ONLY Catching misspelling and
typos before the final printing. Example:
A 60,000 word book would be $900.
FACT-CHECKING

such as names, chronology, ages, statistics, etc.
Example:
A 60,000 word book would be $900.
COPY
