Writing and Editing Rate and Quotes

Background to writing and editing rate

I write and edit for online and print publications. When I do web writing and editing, I can also include keywords in the content, format the work in HTML and CSS, and make suggestions for your website.

My rates are usually per project. I estimate how long the work will take and then give you a quote based on that time estimate.

Because editing time depends a lot on the interaction with the client, I prefer to charge per hour for editing. I can provide a rough estimate in advance, and you'll see the time required as we progress through the project. When I quote per project, the total cost may be higher to cover the possible time involved.

In addition to editing, I can include keywords, proofread the work, and format it to make it web-ready.

Writing and editing rate

My rate for writing and editing is (or is based on) $35 per hour, US or Canadian dollars. For a no-obligation quote, contact me with details of what you need done.

Quotes

Here's how we do it:

• You contact me and tell me about the work you need done.
• We ask each other questions, and then I give you a quote.
• You decide if you want to hire me. You don't pay anything unless you go to the next step.
• If you hire me, we agree on the work and payment, I do the work, you pay me, and you get the finished project. Terms with new clients are usually 50 percent of the payment in advance and 50 percent when the work is completed.

What you get

Writing is not a hobby for me. If you hire me, you will get:

• Professional-quality writing tailored for the intended audience
• No errors in grammar, punctuation, or spelling
• Keywords for search engine optimization
• An optional link to my work at your site on my Portfolio page for a minimum of six months
