Pricing


Smaller Projects
(Less than 10,000 words)

Résumés, short stories, letters, etc. have a quick turnaround time and are billed using the prices shown below. Pricing is based on the number of words in your project and whether you want a 24 hour or 48 hour turnaround time. Turnaround time can be as quick as an hour or two if necessary.

A typical page (~250 words) costs from $3.25 to $5.50, depending on whether you choose proofreading or copy editing. A typical two-page resumé costs between $6.50 and $11.00.

Larger Projects
(10,000 words or more)

Books, novellas, and other projects over 10,000 words are usually priced at an hourly rate of $25. This is much more cost effective than a per word price. Please contact me with your project’s total word count for a project cost estimate.

If your project is 10,000-75,000 words, a minimum deposit of $100 is required before work begins. If it is more than 75,000 words, a minimum deposit of $250 is required before work begins.


I guarantee that I will read your entire document, word for word.
I never outsource.
