Let’s Set Up A Time To Discuss Your Project

Let’s discuss your objectives, talk about your timeline, and make a plan to meet it.

I’ll take that information and draft a Statement of Work that formalizes our plan, timeline, and cost. You’ll review for changes and we’ll both sign. Now we have a mutual agreement.

While AI tools like ChatGPT will help you with content, I will help YOU.

To Help Students Manage Editing Costs, Marie Offers Project Pricing:

The 2024 market cost for an academic editor is $55/hr. (Editorial Freelancers Association, 2024). However, this is a cost that can be prohibitive for students. For current graduate students, I offer a 20% discount, so a working student hourly rate is currently $44.

A typical academic paper can range from 25 to 30 pages plus references. Since papers can be submitted in sections, as an early draft, or as an almost finished product, it can be challenging to estimate cost. To help, Marie offers project pricing. We always discuss this topic in our first meeting. Here are two examples.

Here Are Two Examples Of Project Pricing

Let’s consider a typical 25-page paper plus references. I estimate that a minimum of 12 hours of comprehensive editing is required. Thus, the project cost is 12 * $44 or $528.00. This cost includes three revisions and all Zoom meetings or email consultations requested. Payment can be made in up to three installments. If the project requires significantly more time, Marie will request additional hours. Payment is required to start the project.

Let’s consider a dissertation project at 130 pages plus references. I estimate that a minimum of 35 hours of comprehensive editing is required. Thus, the project cost is 35 * $44 or $1,540. This cost includes three revisions and all Zoom meetings or email consultations requested. Payment can be made in up to three installments. If the project requires significantly more time, Marie will request additional hours. Payment is required to start the project.
