SECOND LANE EDITORIAL SERVICES
Rates and quotes
Rates vary depending on the editing service and type of text you want edited, the material's length, and the level of editing required.
For larger projects, a free sample edit is available of a 500- to 1000-word excerpt of your manuscript to allow both of us to decide if I'm the right editor for you and your work.
Estimated price quotes are generally project-based. I'll establish a quote after evaluating the amount of time (in hours) the editing project is expected to take.
This depends on word count, how complex or difficult the material is, how technical it may be, how polished it is, and the levels of judgment and rewriting involved. For example, for a text that is written by someone who does not have English L1 proficiency or a script that requires quite a lot of reflective judgment, rates will likely be higher.
Please see what editors charge as a guideline provided by Editors Canada.
The Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) also has a useful rate chart for reference.
If any additional elements or requests are integrated into the project after I've made the original assessment and established a quote, the quote will be adjusted (upon discussion and mutual agreement).
