How do you price your copyediting and writing services?

Just like every piece of writing is unique, so is the pricing. For both copyediting and writing projects, I primarily consider the following factors when determining a fair and accurate quote:

• Scope of work: How extensive is the project? For writing, how many pages or words are needed? For copyediting, what is the length of the document? A single webpage will naturally differ in price from an entire website or a lengthy report.

• Complexity of the content: Is the subject matter straightforward, or does it require specialized knowledge and in-depth research? More complex topics often demand more time and expertise.

• Level of editing required (for copyediting): Are you looking for a basic proofread for grammar and spelling, or a more comprehensive edit that includes clarity, flow, and consistency? The depth of editing will influence the price.

• Type of writing (for writing services): Are you looking for website copy, blog posts, articles, marketing materials, or something else? Different types of content may require different approaches and levels of research.

• Turnaround time: Do you have a tight deadline? Expedited services may incur an additional fee.

To give you the most accurate quote, please provide me with details about your project. I'll carefully review your needs and provide a personalized estimate.

Can you offer any discounts?
