How much does editing cost?

An estimate of editing costs

Editing rates
My rates are based on the minimums set by the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading and the Editorial Freelancers Association.
Considerations that go into the cost of an edit
  • Every author has different writing skills.
  • Has the novel undergone any previous revisions from feedback?
  • Has the novel been formatted correctly?
  • How long is the novel?
  • How complex is the language/sentence structure?
Sample starting rates for a 90,000 word novel
  • £2,500/ $3,100 developmental edit
  • £1,000/$1,100 manuscript critique
  • £1,200/$1,500 line and copyedit
  • £700/$900 proofread

Additional information
  • I require a deposit to book, and I can offer payment installment plans.
  • I acckept bank transfers, PayPal and Wise.
