Rates
I bill for illustration and diagrams at $50 per hour. A line cartoon with a dash of colour costs $120; the layout of a simple, but attractive newsletter costs $20 per page. This includes the time I spend discussing my suggestions with a client.
I bill for editing on a per-word basis. For a rough estimate of what it will cost to edit your text, first do a word count. Then multiply that total by whichever of the following rates applies, in your view.
- $.30/word for Writing
- $.16/word for Rewriting
- $.09/word for Structural Editing
- $.05/word for Stylistic Editing
- $.025/word for Copy Editing
Note that it is common for a text to require more than one type of work. The applicable rate will reflect a combination of services, not any one of the rates listed above. For a formal estimate of project costs, please
