Copy editing fiction

I charge £5.50/$7.25 per thousand words for the first 80,000 words, then £6.50/$8.50 per thousand words for anything between 80,001 words and 100,000 words, and £7.50/$9.75 per thousand words for works over 100,000 words. For example:

60,000 words: £330.00/$435.00

85,000 words: £472.50/$622.50

105,000 words: £607.50/$798.75

Copy editing non-fiction

Because of the extra checking required for references, headings, boxes, illustrations and bullet lists, copy editing non-fiction entails significantly more work. Please contact me with word length and brief description if you’d like me to give you a quote for non-fiction and memoir.

Payment of a £50 or $70 deposit can be made via bank transfer, IBAN, Swift, cheque or PayPal once we have agreed dates and a rate for the job, with the balance being due on completion. Choice of whether monies are paid in GB pounds or US dollars is yours.
