Our process:
First, book an initial thirty-minute consultation with one of our editors. In your email, please provide:
- A description of the services you are seeking, including the length of the draft you would like edited and any particular issues you hope to address
- Preferred timeline for delivery of edits
We will follow up with available time slots and request your draft and payment details.
At the initial consultation, we will discuss:
- What services we can offer based on what you sent us and your timeline
- How the editing process will work
- Any additional information needed by the editor or you, the client, to determine whether we should move forward
- Pricing and next steps
If the editor and client agree upon the terms discussed in the consultation, we will provide you with a contract, including an outline of the timeline and services expected and guaranteed.
How we work:
The specific workflow for your project depends on you and the editor, but we follow a general set of guidelines:
- Book Manuscripts: Please submit a complete copy of the book manuscript to your editor, along with any peer reviews or other feedback you want to address in revisions, as well as the style sheet of your target publisher. Typically, your editor will first read the whole manuscript to become intimately familiar with your ideas and to look for structural issues that need to be addressed. Then your editor will work chapter-by-chapter, presenting you with an edited chapter, with comments and edits in Track Changes, for your approval. Once every chapter is edited and approved, the editor will make one more pass to ensure coherence and flow across the whole text.
- Articles: Articles are usually completed in one pass. Please submit the style sheet of your target journal, as well as any peer reviews or other feedback that you need to address.
Our rates:
Your rate is determined after we have reviewed an initial sample of your work. We will provide a quote before the contract is signed.
Rates are at the discretion of each editor but range from $40-90/hour. A 30-minute consultation for new projects is $30. We also offer pricing by the word or as a lump sum, depending on the project.
Factors affecting pricing include the extent and nature of edits required, the need for specialized editing (e.g., linguistic expertise), and the client’s ability to pay. We welcome clients from around the world. We know that pricing norms may vary from place to place, and we will make every effort to accommodate these differences.
If you are on a tight deadline, you can expect a rush fee. This allows us to prioritize your project and is negotiated directly with your editor.
