Self Quote for EDITING

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

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
31,000 -34,500 = $170.00 $26 + (9X16) = $170
34,500 -38,000 = $186.00 $26 + (10X16) = $186
38,000 - 41,500 = $202.00 $26 + (11X16) = $202
41,500 - $45,000 = $218.00 $26 + (12X16) = $218
45,000 - 48,500 = $234.00 $26 + (13X16) = $234
52,000 - 55,500 = $250.00 $26 + (14X16) = $250
55,500 - 59,000 = $266.00 $26 + (15X16) = $266
59,000 - 62,500 = $282.00 $26 + (16X16) = $282
62,500 - 66,000 = $298.00 $26 + (17X16) = $298
66,000 - 69,500 = $314.00 $26 + (18X16) = $314
69,500 - 73,000 = $330.00 $26 + (19X16) = $330
73,000 - 76,500 = $346.00 $26 + (20X16) = $346
76,500 - 80,000 = $362.00 $26 + (21X16) = $362
80,000 - 83,500 = $378.00 $26 + (22X16) = $378
83,500 - 87,000 = $394.00 $26 + (23X16) = $394
87,000 - 90,500 = $410.00 $26 + (24X16) = $410
