Proofreading & Editing
What are your rates?
My rates for proofreading and editing are as follows:
- $.02 per word (standard content)
- $.05 per word (technical content)
- Minimum $15.00 per project
If preferred, I am happy to consider fixed-price projects, beginning at $25.00 per project.
What sort of payment do you accept?
I accept payments through PayPal. Other options may also be considered.
What is your average turnaround time for an editing project?
I generally complete projects within 24-48 hours, depending on their complexity. Rush jobs may be considered if they are time-sensitive and have a deadline that needs to be met.
What is your preferred method of editing documents?
Microsoft® Word with tracking changes turned on is one of the ways I prefer to edit, and I can even convert a PDF document into a Word document for editing. However, I am not limited to only using Word; I also have experience editing in Google Docs. Plus, I am always open to other methods of editing you may require.
How did you end up becoming a freelance proofreader/editor?
I worked full-time for many years in the editing and writing field, and English was always my first love in school (followed closely by foreign languages). Once retired, I wanted to resume working as a proofreader and editor since I love doing it, so I started my own freelance business.
