Many variables affect how a manuscript is priced for editing including
· length (in the number of actual words)
· quality of English language writing
· stage of writing (i.e., draft vs. final)
· number of iterations required
· the scientific discipline for which it's written
· styles to be adhered to for specific journals or disciplines
· the actual work needed to bring the manuscript up to the highest levels of scientific writing.
To provide an estimate, I'll need to see the actual manuscript whether it's a journal article, white paper, text for a website, book, etc. **If it is a book, note that I will need to see the entire book and not just a chapter or two.**
There are often discrepancies between what authors think is needed during the editing process, versus what is actually needed. I can help you determine this.
You can be assured that only I will see any material sent to me, and it will be held in strictest confidence. See my Privacy policy.
