I am currently taking editing work.

Novel editorial read
$1000 per 100,000 words. This is not an edit. It is a chapter by chapter analysis that includes notes on suggested changes, weak spots, and other editorial feedback. I will include a copyedit of the first chapter (up to ten pages) to show patterns and suggestions at the sentence level. Works over 5,000 words will be pro-rated at $10 per additional 1000 words.
Story copyedit
$100 per 5,000 words. This is a rigorous edit of something you consider finished, with changes tracked and explanatory notes. If you are not happy with it, I will return your money. Stories over 5,000 words will be pro-rated at $10 per additional 500 words.

Because this can vary greatly, the fee is based on how much work I’m looking at. Send one chapter and the word length and I can provide an estimate.
Projects will be added to my work queue in the order they are received. If you need your work prioritized due to a deadline, there is an additional rush fee.
If you’re curious about what an editor does, and when to hire one, here’s a blog post that may be helpful.
