Self Quote for ASSESSMENTS 
Assessments start at $26.00 for the first 5000 words or part thereof, and continue at $16.00 for each 9,000 words or part thereof after that.  Very complex mss or ones that are difficult to read may be a bit more. Very simple, clean mss may be a bit less. Manuscripts of 5000 words or less will always be $26.00 for a simple assessment. To do a self-quote that will be reasonably accurate, use the following formula.

1. Check your manuscript's word count. 
2. Set aside the first 5000 words.
3. Divide the remainder by 9,000, rounding up.
4. Multiply the answer from your remainder by 16 
5. Add 26.
6. The final number is the probable dollar cost of your assessment.

Or, simply use the list below as an approximate guide.
Basic pricing:
5000 words or under = $26.00
5000 - 14000 = $41.00    $26 + $16 = $42
14000 - 23000 = $58.00   $26 + (2 X $16) = $58
23000 - 32000 = $74.00  
$26 + (3 X $16) = $74
32,000 - 41,000 = $90.00   
$26 + (4 X $16) = $90
41,000 - 50,000 = $106.00   
$26 + (5 X $16) = $106
50,000 - 59,000 = $122.00   
$26 + (6 X $16) = $122
59,000 - 68,000 = $138.00   
$26 + (7 X $16) = $138
68,000 - 77,000 = $154.00  
$26 + (8 X $16) = $154
77,000 - 86,000 = $175.00    
$26 + (9 X $16) = $175
86,000 - 95,000 = $186.00  
$26 + (10 X $16) = $186
95,100 - 10400 = $202.00  
$26 + (11 X $16) = $202
