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*
