General pricing for projects. Displayed prices are the starting rate. Depending on each project’s requirements (such as subject, genre, and/or time demand), pricing may change.
Payment will be through PayPal invoices and billing based on original word count per 1000 words, rounding up to the next 100. For example, if a project is 126,339 words, it will be billed as 126.4 “units”.
For page-rate services, billing is based on the double-spaced, 12pt Times New Roman manuscript page count before any content editing and assumes approximately 250 words per page. Unit price will round up to the next half-page. If a page-rate service is requested, it may also be estimated from word count.
If you’re interested in a service not listed, please contact me or send me an email at inquiries@vaughnediting.com with the subject line “Project Estimate” and a project description.
