I follow the rate chart from the EFA. You can find their prices here.
Light copyediting
Light copyediting includes all mechanical errors like spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. It will also include obvious grammatical errors, suggest edits and fact checking, but will not include actual corrections. This is best for projects that have been thoroughly edited already and need a final cleanup.
Medium copyediting
Medium copyediting includes light copyediting plus syntax and usage errors. It also includes suggestions on wordy passages, query facts, and suggestions on how to correct basic organization. This is for projects that have had basic editing.
Heavy copyediting
Heavy copyediting includes medium copyediting plus verifying and revising facts, fixing organization, and rewriting wordy parts.
Line editing
Line editing looks at the sentence level to ensure everything reads and flows well. It does not include grammatical corrections.
Developmental Editing
Developmental editing focuses on overall structure, clarity, and flow. This step happens before any line editing or copyediting.
