Prices. We offer discounts for members of the Dramatists Guild, and the International Centre for Women Playwrights. Please tell us before we issue our estimate for your work if you are a member of either of these organizations. It makes a difference!
- Proofreading = $ 200 for 60-100,000 words for a book-size project, or $40 per hour for a small project. If the job is simple, we can do about 10 pages in an hour. We read everything aloud, and make changes as we go. These changes are clearly marked so you can see them. You will bear the final decision on all changes. We work quickly, but not sloppily. If you like, we can also prepare an mP3 file of our reading of your work for an additional charge.
- Copyediting = $300 for book-size project or $40 per hour for a small project. This may take a bit longer than simply proofreading. The work is more involved. If you haven't read the services page, now is the time to do so. Each of these services is progressively more involved, and takes longer to perform. The hourly rate is the same, but the estimate is going to be higher.
- Developmental editing = $500 for a book-size project or $40 per hour for a small project. See above. See services provided.
- Now that I've said all that, I will also say that if you prefer a rate per page, or per word, we can arrange that as well. We will always begin with your sending me your work, or a sample of your work and my sending you an estimate. You never have to be concerned with the safety of your intellectual property.
