What Are Your Editing Needs?
We at WriteSpace Consulting understand that writers have different needs. Some of our clients, such as those who take delight in listening to Grammar Girl and reading Word Court, simply seek someone to ensure that their well-crafted, previously revised manuscript is ready to publish/submit. These clients seek a proofreader who will catch such slips as homonym errors, redundancies, and dropped words.
Others need more substantive editing. While copyeditors, like proofreaders, focus on correctness and clarity, their services are generally rendered on an earlier draft, word by word and line by line.
Still others hire holistic editors to examine the so-called "Big Picture" and to help them transform their organization, diction, and style.

With the above distinctions in mind, we offer the following services and fee guidelines:
Holistic Editing: Depending upon the scope of the project, we generally charge between 45.00 and 60.00 dollars per hour, although it may be higher if the prose is particularly dense. After examining the text, we will contact you with a specific quote.
Copyediting and Proofreading: We bill between 40.00 and 50.00 dollars per hour, depending upon the extent of revision needed. After examining the text, we will contact you with a specific quote.
