Professional Editing and Proofreading by College English Prof, Author, Editor in Albuquerque, New Mexico For Sale

Price: $25
Type: Creative, For Sale - Private.

I'm an experienced editor and proofreader who can help with your writing at any level--grammar, mechanics, style, The Big Picture. I was a college English and humanities teacher for many years, and the director of the college writing center. Editing experience includes academic, general nonfiction, business, personal, and light technical writing. I've worked with a number of different style guides, including APA, MLA, CSE, and Chicago.
It's all done via e-mail. For Word documents I use Track Changes, which allows you to see my edits and either accept or reject them. You get two copies of the edited document, one showing edits and the other a clean copy with all edits included.
Thorough and accurate. Quick turnaround. Reasonable rates.

Price.
My rate is $25/hour. For proofreading, I average about 2,000 words per hour, which works out to around $3.00 per page (250 words). For copyediting, how much I do per hour depends on the amount of editing needed, which can vary wildly, but usually works out to $4-$5 per page. I'd be glad to give an estimate based on a sample of your work.
One-hour minimum.
