Self Quote for EDITING


Editing starts at $26.00 for the first 3000 words or part thereof and continues at $16.00 for each 3500 words or part thereof thereafter. Manuscripts of 3000 words or less will usually be $26.00. 
A picture book text will be $26.00. Two picture book texts subbed at the same time will be $42.00 and three picture book texts subbed at the same time will be $58.00.
Editing can be one-pass or two-pass. See here for details.

Here's the formula for a normal one-pass edit. 
1. Do a word count.   100,000 words
2. Set aside the first 3000 words or part thereof   100,000-3000 = 97,000
3. Divide the remainder by 3500   97000 divided by 3500 = 28
4. Multiply the result by 16  28 x 16 = 448
5. Add 26  to cover the first 3000 words  448 + 26 = $474
6. The answer will be the probable dollar amount for your one-pass edit. 

​7. Interest-free part-payments are available

Or, simply use the list below.

Basic price list for editing
Up to 3000 words - $26.00
​3000 - 6500 = $42.00        $26 + $16 = $42
6500 - 10,000 = $58.00      $26 + $16 + $16 = $58
10,000 - 13500 = $74.00     $26 + (3 X $16) = $74
13,500 - 17,000 = $90.00   $26 + (4 X 16) = $90
17,000 -20,500 = $106.00   $26 + (5 X 16) = $106
20,500 - 24,000 = $122.00   $26 + (6X16) = $122 
24,000-27,500 = $138.00     $26 + (7x16) = $138
27,500-31,000 = $154.00     $26 + (8X16) = $154
​
Continue to add $16.00 per each 3,500 words.


EDIT ASSESSMENT COMBO
If you want an edit/assessment combo, work out the price for an edit and add 16 for your quote. The combo must be done in the same operation.  If you ask for an assessment first and an edit of the same material a few weeks later, that is two separate jobs, although you will get an $11 discount.
