FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Standard .05 cents per word. You provide me with a word count, I provide you with a quote. I do offer discounts for very clean manuscripts or if you would like only proofreading, in which case I charge between .03 to .04 per word.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I want to know about the full scope of your project and your goals, as well as any concerns you may have. I am up front about cost and do not make you sign any contracts, which many editors opt to do. If you are not one hundred percent happy with my work, we do not move forward. That said, I am proud to say I have never lost a client!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BA in English and Rhetoric from University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. MFA from University of Ann Arbor in writing. Ten years teaching experience and twenty years editing experience...and loving it just as much as I did all those years ago when I first started!
