Tier 1: Proofreading

$2.25/page[i]
Proofreading includes checking for grammar, spelling, and use of Standard English. There will be a light check for general style, including awkwardness, word choice, wordiness, order, etc. Unless otherwise noted, this tier includes only one round of drafts.

Tier 2: Copy Editing
$3.00/page
Copy Editing includes everything from Tier 1, plus editing for content and specific style. My specialities are AMA, MLA, AP, and Chicago styles. I will also adhere to house/proprietary styles. This rate also includes a bit of research in regards to requests for fact or reference checking. Tier 2 includes two rounds of drafts. If any further drafts are needed, due to author additions or revisions, additional charges may apply. If more work is needed on the document, the author should consider Tier 3.

Tier 3: Consultation
Customized Quote
Consultation includes assistance in multiple stages of the writing process, including help with reference/fact checking/research, and assessing and preparing documents based on general or specific publication standards, grading criteria, or department standards. Consultation does not mean that I will write your paper for you; it means that I will help with finding “raw materials,” brainstorming,” etc. It’s like having your own personal writing center.

DISCOUNTS:

I am willing to work within most budgets.

Reference/Fact checking only: $15.00/hour

Expedited Turnaround Flat Rates: 24 hours, $125; 48 hours, $85[ii]
