Editing rates:
Every writing project varies with regards to editing needs. Editoria is committed to providing quality editing at an affordable rate to as many authors as possible. For most editing work, quotes are organised either on a per page basis or an hourly rate, depending upon the nature of the project. The most recent IPEd survey of freelance editors reveals that editing rates vary between AU $30 and $110 per hour in Australia. We ensure that our services remain at the lower end of the market when charging for editing work.
Writing rates:
As with editing services, the cost of our writing services vary depending upon the scope of the work and the hours involved. Projects requiring extensive research will need additional hours allocated, affecting the total cost of producing the document.
Request a Quote:
If you would like to work with Rachel, please contact us by email or phone to explain your project. We will provide you with an obligation free quote alongside an estimated time frame as soon as we understand your needs. For editing projects, you will need to submit a cross-section of your work for us to analyse and give you an accurate quote.
If you have a limited editing budget it is also possible to restrict our editing service to the essential issues that you would like to focus on. Upon request, a sample of our editing can be provided in a Word document with track changes enabled.
For writing projects, you will need to outline in detail the requirements and intended audience of the document and provide us with all pertinent preliminary materials. Please note that in both cases the industry standard for a page is 250 words.
