Many editing services separate basic proofreading from copyediting and apply individual rates; I don’t. To me, copyediting is copyediting. Any quality editing job involves proofreading simply as a matter of course. For this reason, I charge a flat hourly rate for my editing work. The amount you will pay, then, will depend on the extent of work needed.
When you entrust a project to me for editing I will do the following:
-
Basic proofreading
- Spelling
- Punctuation
- Syntax
- Simple formatting
-
In-depth editing
- Clarity of ideas
- Sentence and paragraph flow and transition
- Conciseness
- Proper word usage
- Grammatical consistency
Referencing – $40 per hour
Especially in the academic world, different disciplines (psychology, history, business, etc) have unique style requirements for writing and referencing. I am versed in APA (American Psychological Association), MLA (Modern Language Association), and Chicago/Turabian, and have ready access to many other style guides.
