I charge an hourly rate. The Chicago Manual of Style suggests that a 100,000-word book manuscript, edited by an experienced editor, might take seventy-five to one hundred hours of work before being sent to the author for his or her review, and ten to twenty additional hours after the author’s review. I’m happy to edit a small sample to provide the basis for an estimate and to give you an opportunity to see my work.
