Pricing

I've trained with the UK's Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) to a high standard and am on track to become a professional member by the end of 2024. Until then, I'm offering a reduced rate of £20/€23/US$25 an hour.

If you're writing a book, the price calculator below will give you an approximate idea of the financial investment for a thorough round of editing, including post-editing consultation. It's based on an average edit and is intended to give you a ballpark figure. If you are an experienced wordsmith, it will likely be less. If your writing needs intensive support, it might be more.

Please check it out, and then feel free to contact me for a free sample edit, where I can give you a bespoke quote – dependent on your individual writing and exactly what you are looking for.
