We have a sliding scale for our rates based on word count and two different editing levels: Premium and Premium Plus. There is no price differentiation for speed. There is no extra charge for rush jobs. Your editor is custom chosen for you and your project by our skilled staff, or you may choose your editor yourself by reviewing our editors on the Staff Page.
Premium
Proofreading, plus any necessary improvements to diction, sentence structure, flow, and clarity. Premier editing is for well-written texts that require minor to moderate corrections and editing.
