Each manuscript is unique. I charge a flat fee per manuscript in order to protect clients from surprises.
My fee is based on:
The degree of editing needed
Specific requests by the author(s)
The estimated number of hours I will spend on your manuscript
Turnaround time
The process:
Clients provide me with a draft or final version of the manuscript and describe their needs and goals
I review the manuscript to determine what level of work it requires
I provide a quote and ask the client to approve it
