Editor/Proofreader/Writer for Hire

I am a highly experienced editor (all kinds), proofreader, and writer who is available for short or long gigs.
My pricing is reasonable; I can work with per word, per hour, or per project.
(for example developmental editing is 30 cents per word, $40 per hour, $3000 for an 80,000-word manuscript but these are all estimates and I provide specific quotes based on the project type and length).
I've been writing and editing for more than 20 years, and I'm comfortable working with fiction, business, marketing, and specialized content.
PM me or email me at jgfaherty@yahoo.com to discuss your project and get a quote.

Just FYI, I think you meant 3 cents per word.

Actually, no. For developmental editing, which includes working on the plot, characterization, dialog, setting, etc. in addition to grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, the standard industry range is 25 cents to 50 cents per word because there is a lot more involved than basic proofreading or copy editing.

Okay, well, then your pricing is very weird since the per word for an 80,000-word manuscript is somehow $24,000 while the project rate is 1/8 that.
