Please read this page carefully.
I provide a free sample edit before working with all clients, and have information on payment options further down the page.
In an attempt to keep my editing open to everyone, my prices are set far below those recommended by the Editing Freelancers association. I am willing to discuss budget and costs with clients, so please get in touch and we’ll see what we can make work.

Payment plans
Option 1: Pay 100% of the cost up front. Recieve a 5% discount for paying this way.
Option 2: Pay 50% of the cost up front, with the other due 50% due within 24 hours of recieving your edited manuscript.
Option 3: Pay a downpayment of as little as £50/$75, and pay the rest in installments to suit you. The total balance is due before you recieve your edited manuscript.
Pay-what-you-can edits
Really can’t afford to pay? Though my prices fall far below those recommended by the Editorial Freelances Association, I understand not everyone has the money to spare. Having been in poverty myself, I now offer very few (max of 6 per year) Pay-what-you-can edit spots.
These spots are designed for those in circumstances beyond their control, who really can’t afford an editor. They start as low as £50/$75 dollars per manuscript and are treated exactly the same as full paying clients.
Please get in touch to enquire about my pay-what-you-can availability.
