The Price of Quality

Explore our flexible pricing options tailored to your needs.

Good editing, translating, beta reading, academic coaching, and ghostwriting are more than just services—they’re investments in the quality and success of your work. These processes require time, expertise, and meticulous effort to ensure the final product not only meets your expectations but exceeds them.

A well-edited manuscript, a flawlessly translated text, or a thoughtfully ghostwritten piece can open doors, captivate readers, and elevate your ideas. The cost is not just for the work itself but for the opportunities and impact that work can create.

The difference between proofreading, editing, and beta reading

Proofreading, editing, and beta reading are distinct steps in refining written work, each with a specific focus. Proofreading is the final stage, concentrating on catching surface-level errors like typos, grammar mistakes, and formatting inconsistencies. Editing dives deeper, addressing structural issues, improving clarity, enhancing flow, and refining the tone and style while ensuring the writing aligns with its intended purpose. Beta reading, on the other hand, provides a reader’s perspective, offering feedback on story elements like plot, pacing, character development, and overall readability, often before formal editing begins. Together, these processes ensure a polished and engaging final product. Beta reading automatically includes a review.

Academic Coaching

Academic coaching is a personalized service designed to guide students and researchers through the challenges of academic work, from developing clear research questions to structuring arguments and improving writing skills. In my case, academic coaching also includes ghostwriting, where I create detailed templates or drafts tailored to your needs. These templates provide a solid foundation, helping you focus on refining your ideas while ensuring the work adheres to academic standards. Whether you’re seeking support with thesis writing, research papers, or project presentations, academic coaching combines mentorship with practical assistance to help you succeed.

Translations

My translation service focuses on delivering accurate, culturally nuanced translations that preserve the original text’s meaning, tone, and intent. Whether it’s fiction, academic papers, or professional documents, I ensure the content resonates with its target audience while maintaining linguistic precision. Pricing is tailored to the complexity of the text, with rates ranging from $0.05 to $0.15 per word or $30 to $70 per hour. For example, translating a 5,000-word document would typically cost between $250 and $750, depending on the subject matter and level of specialization required.

Pricing

The price, in the end, depends on the service. Proofreading requires less time than copy editing, which requires less time than researching for and crafting a template for an academic thesis. The rates for proofreading and editing depend on the quality of the text, so there is a slight variation. For template writing, it depends on the type of text, the length etc. Here are my median rates:

Editing rates

Editing	Median Rate Per Word	Median Pace Of Work
Editing, fiction	$.02-.029 per word	7-10 pages per hour
Editing, Nonfiction	$.03–$.039 per word	4–6 pages per hour

Proofreading rates

Proofreading, Fiction	$.02–$.029 per word	11–15 pages per hour

Beta Reading

Beta reading, Fiction	$.003–$.004 per word	11–15 pages per hour
Beta reading, Nonfiction	$.005–$.006 per word	7–10 pages per hour

Reviews: The median rate for a book review is at $.003 per word. Thus, it’s about §3 per 1,000 words. So, if your novel has 30,000 words, the rate will be $90.
