Rates

Gail works on both an hourly and a per-page basis, depending on the needs of the client. In an hourly rate scheme, the final cost could be slightly more or less than originally estimated, depending on issues encountered during editing. The per-page rate sets a firm price up front, with the per-page rate being determined by the density of the topic and the level of editing requested. 

Copyediting                                       $25/hour (approx. 5–10 pages/hour)      OR      $3.00–$5.00/page*
   
Proofreading                                     $20/hour (approx. 10–15 pages/hour)    OR      $2.00–$4.00/page
   
Writing                                               varies by project

*Manuscript page = 8 1/2 x 11-inch page, double-spaced, Times New Roman (approximately 250 words).
Please note that half of the payment is due up front; the other half is due upon completion.
