Frequently Asked Questions
What are your rates?
Pricing structures vary based on the depth of editing required, and length of the project. In some cases, applying an hourly rate is best for the client. At other times, per word pricing may be more appropriate while a per page pricing may be more suitable for another. Bulk pricing is also available. I prefer to consult with clients, determine need, and quote each project accordingly.
How will we exchange the project?
I primarily use email, Dropbox, or OneDrive to share or exchange documents. I prefer manuscripts to be submitted in a Word document whenever possible. I'm happy to discuss your project and we can determine, together, the best way to approach working together.
How do I get a quote?
Simply email indicating your interest and outlining your project. I sometimes ask clients to complete a questionnaire to determine the size of the project, the depth of my involvement, etc. I'm happy to exchange that by email initially, then we can progress to phone or video conference appointments as needed.
Will I need to submit my entire manuscript for a quote?
Unless your project is one page or less, I will only need to examine a portion to determine the depth of editing needed to accomplish your goals. For book manuscripts, the first chapter is usually sufficient. One to three pages should be enough for shorter projects.
Why should I use The Write Editor?
I am a professional. Not only am I an editor, but I am also an award-winning writer. With 30 years' experience in print media, you will benefit from my knowledge and experience.
