I want my work to fit your needs. Contact me for an estimate or a sample edit. You may also use the rates on this page as guidelines to scope the cost of your piece, but please keep in mind that no two pieces are alike. Usually, we can develop an estimate that works for both of us, even if it doesn’t quite add up to the usual rates. Also, I offer discounts for repeat and valued customers!

* These estimates are based on my own experience as well as industry averages; editing and writing rates are based on those published by the Editorial Freelancers Association. The typical "page" contains 250 words. I may deviate from these estimates for various reasons. For example, I may estimate a slower page-per-hour rate for a highly technical piece with numerous chemical or Latin names. On the other hand, I may estimate a faster page-per-hour rate if you've carefully reviewed and corrected your piece before starting the editing process.
** Design encompasses a wide variety of products (e.g., editing/enhancing pictures, developing illustrations, creating videos). It is difficult to provide a single estimate of how long it takes to produce all types, which is why I've opted to be less precise in these instances. When in doubt, it's probably safest to contact me for an estimate.
