Editing Pricing and Services
We will work with stories of any subject matter. We are not here to criticize ideas, and we will do our best to work with you, not just to bring your work to its full potential, but to make the process of getting there comfortable. Our payment plans work to your schedule, and we believe in fully-open communication every step of the way.
Core Services

Story Editing
Price: Between $0.004-$0.012/word Number of Editing Passes: 2 With this service, we will look at the development of your characters, plot, and setting. We will comment, using Microsoft Word's comments feature, on ways the story can be enhanced. This service is great for authors who are completely unsure of their idea and have no idea where to go. Current estimated turnaround time: 0.75 months* |
Line/Copyediting
Price: Between $0.005-$0.015/word Number of Editing Passes: 2 During this service, we will look over the technical aspects of your work, including grammar, punctuation, wording, spelling, and other such issues. With this level, we will not comment on your story at all. This service is good for those who have had some sort of story editing completed already. Current estimated turnaround time: 1 month* |
Full Edit
Price: Between $0.008-$0.020/word Number of Editing Passes: 2-3 This combines both of the other two services, and is our most popular service. This service is great for those who are looking to self-publish, or want to polish their story as much as they can before submitting it for publication. Current estimated turnaround time: 1.5 months* |
*All turnaround times are based upon just the first round of edits with an average amount of work on a novel of 80,000 words. Subsequent rounds of edits usually take 2-3 weeks from the time the previous round has been confirmed. The size and complexity of projects may vary these times greatly. Prices may be altered if significant sections of your work are added or completely rewritten after our first round of edits, as those previous edits are no longer valid and have to be redone from scratch.
With all projects, we will invoice via Square. You can pay with a credit card through that system (preferred), or you can pay via PayPal (pay[at]anthroaquatic[dot]com), or Square Cash ($Ottercorrect).
