Copy Editing *

Usual price, USD:

$0.015 (1½c)

I'll make sure that your self-edited draft is clear, concise, and consistent, and free of 'silly' mistakes.

This includes:

1. grammar, spelling, and punctuation

2. typos

3. standardizing things like capitalization and use of hyphens

4. basic fact-checking, such as historical dates

5. making sure the basic formatting is correct: things like eliminating double spacing, standardizing font, and so on. NOTE: this does not replace professional book formatting.

Proofreading *

Usual price, USD:

$0.025 (2.5c) 

per word

depending on the quality of the manuscript

I'll use the proofreading exercise to find and correct any last grammatical errors, including spelling and punctuation.

This takes place after all other editing is complete and acts as the final polish.

I include both, so I'll proofread your manuscript twice.
