Editing Services
(This is a revamp of my earlier post to be a little clearer.)
Hi! I'm a really cheap editor (see here to see standard editing prices, but it's roughly a third of the lowest price) to hopefully be accessible to more people who are in need of editing and can't afford higher prices. I do both line editing and copy editing by default for these prices, but for a little extra I can also do developmental editing.
Pricing:
Line and copyediting: £5/1000 words (or £0.005 per word); half standard price for dialogue only
Developmental editing: +£3 to the original price total (i.e., not per thousand words, but just added to the whole thing)
£5 is roughly 6.60 USD, 5.80 euros, 9.15 CAD, and 10.30 AUD.
Payment options:
DO THIS STEP FIRST: contact me at [email protected] to discuss terms.
Paypal: I will invoice you; you can either pay full price upfront or half at the beginning, and half midway through. (Editing work will not be completed until the full price has been paid; it will not be started until 50% of the cost has been received.)
Ko-fi: You can either use the donate or the commissions button; for convenience, I've kept my writing commissions and my editing work under the same purchase area. (You can still pay half and half this way as well as full price.)
Stripe: I will invoice you; you can either pay full price upfront or half at the beginning, and half midway through. (Editing work will not be completed until the full price has been paid; it will not be started until 50% of the cost has been received.)
Service details:
Line editing: Literal line-by-line editing, looking at flow, consistency, tone, voice, etc. This is about editing and improving the prose itself.
Copy editing: Meticulous grammar focused editing. This includes things like the subjunctive, tenses, and SPaG. (This is not proofreading; I will not be looking at your formatting.)
Developmental editing: This focuses on the "big things", so to speak. Plot, structure, character development, et cetera. When providing services that include developmental editing, I will do this first, before line and copyediting.
How my editing service works: you provide me with a link to your work, and I'll do a run through, providing comments and feedback. We can discuss this, and I'll repeat this after your amendments up to five times (developmental editing runs are not included in the five).
Pricing examples and terms & conditions under the cut.
