My standard rate for proofreading is $0.006/word ($6 per 1,000 words). Shorter deadlines or other considerations may result in a higher or lower rate.
I utilize the most current (18th) edition of The Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster dictionary.
All proofreading is done in Microsoft Word using Track Changes. If you have a different preference, let me know and we can work it out!
To Get Started:
- Use the “Get in Touch” page to let me know of your interest, discuss availability, or ask questions.
- I offer a 1,500-word sample edit for new clients to ensure that we’re a good fit working together.
- I’ll send you a customized contract to review and sign, as well as an invoice for 50% of the total cost. Once both are received, along with your manuscript, I’ll get started!
- Once proofreading is complete, I will send you the edited version of your project, a clean copy, and an invoice for the remaining payment due. Final payment is due within 14 days.
