diting rates are determined by several factors. These include the subject of your work, manuscript length, complexity and quality, and the type of editing you feel is required. As with most editors, I charge by the hour for most projects. However, unlike some editors, I don't make a great distinction between rates for the various types of editing work. This is because, depending on the above variables, an editor's speed may range widely—anywhere from two to twelve pages an hour. So I keep my rate structure simple:

–Proofreading and copy editing: $45.00/hour.
–Substantive editing, structural editing, consultation, critique and indexing: $50.00/hour.

–For rush rates, add 25% to the total cost.
