RATES*

Proofreading	$7.95/page
Copyediting	$8.95/page
Rewriting/Rephrasing	$9.95/page
Substantive Editing	$9.95/page
Technical Editing	$8.95/page

* Projects can be undertaken on an hourly rate or a fixed price depending on the client’s preference. If a project requires more than one type of editing, charges will be based upon the highest rate. For example, if a document requires both substantive and technical editing, the project’s total cost will be $9.95 per page.

Costs associated with postage, return of documents, printing, and faxing are additional to the hourly rate.

Each article, document, manuscript, etc. is unique and difficult to price in terms of editing without an initial overview by Molly. Written work that requires extensive correction and restructuring or has numerous formatting issues may be very time-consuming and therefore more costly to edit. Thus, it is recommended that clients describe accurately and honestly the degree of editing thought to be required and, if possible, provide a sample. This will allow Molly to more accurately predict the cost of editing services. If no sample is provided, changes may occur to the initial projected cost upon receipt of the document. However, the fee will always be set before editing begins so that both the client and Molly are clear upon the price.

** Editing of legal footnotes is done in conformity with The Bluebook’s Uniform System of Citation and The Texas Law Review’s Manual on Usage and Style unless otherwise requested. All other editing relies on the rules and regulations as outlined by Strunk and White in The Elements of Style and MLA (Modern Language Association) documentation style.

CONFIDENTIALITY

All work submitted for editing is recognized as the author’s intellectual property and confidentiality will be maintained. Client files will be kept for one month after completion of the project. Longer projects (i.e., theses, legal manuals, etc.) will be kept for 6 months before deletion.
