I have provided the following calculations and range of fees in US Dollars (for typical novella and novel lengths of manuscripts) because I think authors would like to have an idea of what to expect before even contacting an editor. At least, I know I would.
I also am willing to work with an Author who may wish to negotiate, barter, discuss payment installments, or payment in a currency other than USD.
Please, check out the Business Details at the bottom of my Services page. And by all means, take advantage of the Discount Specials I offer!

Because different editors list their rates in different ways and authors get used to using those means for their calculations, I have provided examples of the math and how an average novella length and novel length book is broken down
- by Word,
- by 1,000 Words
- by Page (@250 words/page)
Example of math calculations for a Beta Plus of novella and novel length books:
So, a Novella of 30,000 words / 120 pages would cost between $180 and $240.
30,000 x .005 = $150 - 30,000 x .008 = $240
30 x 5 = $150 - 30 x 8 = $240
120 x 1.25 = $150 - 120 x 2.00 = $240
A Novel of 80,000 words / 320 pages would cost between $480 and $640.
80,000 x .005 = $400 - 80,000 x .008 = $640
80 x 5 = $400 - 80 x 8 = $640
320 x 1.25 = $400 - 320 x 2.0 = $640
- $0.005 / word - $.008 / word
- $5.00 / 1,000 words - $8 / 1,000 words
- $1.25 / page - $2.00 / page (a page = 250 words)
So, a Novella of 30,000 words / 120 pages would cost between $180 and $240.
30,000 x .005 = $150 - 30,000 x .008 = $240
30 x 5 = $150 - 30 x 8 = $240
120 x 1.25 = $150 - 120 x 2.00 = $240
A Novel of 80,000 words / 320 pages would cost between $480 and $640.
80,000 x .005 = $400 - 80,000 x .008 = $640
80 x 5 = $400 - 80 x 8 = $640
320 x 1.25 = $400 - 320 x 2.0 = $640
Example of math calculations for a Full Edit of novella and novel length books:
- $0.008/ word - $0.01/ word
- $8/ 1,000 words - $10/ 1,000 words
- $2.00/ page - $2.50/ page (a page = 250 words)
So, a Novella of 30,000 words / 120 pages would cost between $240 and $300.
30,000 x .008 = $240 - 30,000 x .01 = $300
30 x 8 = $240 - 30 x 10 = $300
120 x 2 = $240 - 120 x 2.5 = $300
A Novel of 80,000 words / 320 pages would cost between $640 and $800.
80,000 x .008 = $640 - 80,000 x .01 = $800
320 x 2 = $640 - 320 x 2.5 = $800
80 x 8 = $640 - 80 x 10 = $800
Example of math calculations for a Final Polish of novella and novel length books:
- $0.005/ word - $0.01/ word
- $5.00/ 1,000 words - $10/1,000 words
- $1.25/ page - $2.50 / page (a page = 250 words)
So, a Novella of 30,000 words / 120 pages would cost between $150 and $300.
30,000 x .005 = $150 - 30,000 x .01 = $300
30 x 5 = $150 - 30 x 10 = $300
120 x 1.25 = $150 - 120 x 2.50 = $300
A Novel of 80,000 words / 320 pages would cost between $400 and $800.
80,000 x .005 = $400 - 80,000 x .01 = $800
80 x 5.00 = $400 - 80 x 10 = $800
320 x 1.25 = $400 - 320 x 2.50 = $800
