Hello, I'm looking for an editor to review a 96,733 words romantic suspense/ romantic comedy. The book has been beta read by a few people, and critiqued/edited already a few times by me and a critique partner, so I think it needs a final fresh eye. :) I'm on a tight budget, so I'm using the per hour feature to estimate price, but I'd like in fact a cost per word, if possible. The budget range I chose (250/750) will not cover the book's entire editing (obviously), it's more an indication of how much I can invest on short term. We can add subsequent assignments to complete all chapters, if things go well.

Hi, I am willing to edit the entire novel for the listed price if you are willing to wait about 10-14 days for completion. This will be line by line edits, another proofread, and as well as general impression or any other assistance you may be looking for. Please message me if you wish to further discuss.

Hi – my proofreading and editing speed averages 45 minutes per 1,000 words, so your 96,000 word novel would take me approximately 75 hours @ $12/hr = $900. I understand that you are merely feeling your way as regards costs and I consider myself to be an excellent editor at a pretty good rate. How about you send me approximately 1,000 words to edit so you can see a sample of what I offer. There is no charge for this, and absolutely no commitment on your part. I edited my ex’s blog for six years and we also co-wrote an adventure thriller that is still gathering dust on a hard drive somewhere! My ex, Fiona, is an excellent writer. I just polished her words a little. Eventually she did not need any polishing at all. My bid is for approximately 27,000 words, or 20 hours of work over the course of a week. The very best of good luck with your novel. Thanks and best wishes, Dan
