How I can help you
Below are listed some of the services I offer and the charges:
1. Basic editing
Basic editing applies to a manuscript that is essentially well written and does not contain many poorly written sentences. It involves correction of spelling, grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, word usage, capitalisation, word breaks and tone. I will also critique the content and make suggestions for improvement without rewriting or making changes to your own distinct style.
Charges for basic editing: US$10 per 1000 words.
2. Copyediting
Copyediting or developmental editing includes all the same corrections as basic editing, but also involves re-writing some parts to improve the clarity, style and flow of your writing.
Charges for copyediting: US$15 per 1000 words.
3. Proofreading
Proofreading is the final stage before you submit your manuscript to a publisher. Proofreading involves the identification and correction of typographical errors, but will also include correction of spelling, grammar, punctuation, vocabulary and formatting that may have been missed at the editing stage.There are no fixed charges for the number of words since the amount of work involved can vary considerably from author to author.
Proofreading will be charged at a rate of US$20 per hour.
4. Ghostwriting
I can write your book or e-book for you. The cost of writing your book will depend on the amount of information you supply to me and the amount of research needed.Charges for ghostwriting:
These start at US$35 per 1000 words, but the charges may be more if further research is required.
