Self Quote for EDITING


Editing starts at $25.00 for the first 3000 words or part thereof and continues at $15.00 for each 3500 words or part thereof thereafter. Manuscripts of 3000 words or less will usually be $25.00. 
A picture book text will be $25.00. Two picture book texts subbed at the same time will be $40.00 and three picture book texts subbed at the same time will be $55.00.
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.
2. Set aside the first 3000 words or part thereof
3. Divide the remainder by 3500
4. Multiply the result by 15
5. Add 25
6. The answer will be the probable dollar amount for your one-pass edit. 
7. Please note; while this is accurate up to 100,000 words, it is less so for very long mss which may get a bit of a discount.
​8. Interest-free part-payments are available

Basic price list for editing
Up to 3000 words - $25.00
​3100 - 6500 = $40.00
6500 - 10,000 = $55.00
10,000 - 13500 = $70.00
13,500 - 17,000 = $85.00
17,000 -20,500 = $100.00
20,500 - 24,000 = $115.00
24,000-27,500 = $130.00
27,500-31,000 = $145.00
31,000 - 34,500 = $160.00
34,500 -38,000 = $185.00
38,000-41,500 = $200.00
41,500-45,000 = $215.00
45,000- 48,500 = $230.00
48,500 - 52,000 = $245.00
52,000 - 55,500 = $260.00
55,500 - 59,000 = $275.00
59,000 - 62,500 = $290.00
62,500 - 66,000 = $310.00
66,000 - 69,500 = $325.00
69,500 - 73,000 = $340.00
73,000 - 76,500 = $355.00
76,500 - 80,000 = $370.00
80,000 -  83,500 = $385.00
83,500 - 86,000 = $400.00
86,000 - 89,500 = $415.00
89,500 - 93,000 = $430.00
93,000 - 96,500 = $445.00
96,500 - 100,000 = $460.00
100,000 - 103,500 = $475.00
103,500 - 107,000 = $490.00
107,000 - 110,500 = $505.00
110,500 - 114,000 = $520.00
114,000 - 117,500 = $535.00
117,500 - 121,000 = $550.00

121,000 - 128,000 = $565,00 -$580.00

128,000 - 135,000 = $595,00 -$610.00

135,000 - 142,000 = $625 - $640.00

142,000 - 149,000 = $655,00 - $670.00

149,000 - 156,000 = $685,00 - $700.00

156,000 - 163,000 = $715,00 - $730.00

163,000 - 170,000 = $745,00 - $760.00

170,000 - 177,000 = $775,00 - $790.00

177,000 - 184,000 = $805.00 - $820.00

184,000 - 191,000 = $835.00 - $850.00

191,000 - 198,000 = $865,00 - $880.00

198,000 - 205,000 = $895,00 - $910,00
