WHY PAY FOR EDITING?
Like any professional service, a good edit requires time, brainpower, and inside knowledge gained by decades of experience in the writing and publishing world. Investing in a professional editor is an investment in your story and, ultimately, in your own mastery of the craft.
I've broken down my rates for various projects below. NOTE: I've used the upper word limit of each story type to calculate the max cost, but keep in mind that final rates will be based on your individual project's word length.
