Each editing job is unique but here are some things we consider when estimating an editing job.
Time Needed
Here is the approximate time needed for various editing services.
Whether we’re editing for print or the web, we base these time estimates on 350 words per page (12pt Times New Roman font at 1.5 line spacing) as we request draft website content in a Word or Text file format.
| Service | Time Required |
| Re-writing | .5 -1 page per hour |
| Structural/stylistic editing | 1-2 pages per hour |
| Basic copyediting | 2-5 pages per hour |
| Proofreading | 6-10 pages per hour |
Elements that require additional time:
- graphic elements (charts, tables, diagrams, photos etc) footnotes or bibliographies
- fact checking
- topic research
- project management-related tasks as required
Revisions
Generally 1 revision is included in the job estimate. Further revisions are billed separately.
