5 cents a WORD to proff read a manuscript?  ? that would mean stories of average lenght for onlind posting could cost hundreds or thousands of dollars to have prooed. I write stories for an adult story site mine range from 3500-9000 words on average with the longest being over 22.000 words...that's over $1,100 Seems a bit steep. |

Its the going rate man. And 9000 words at .05 cents a word comes out to $450. 22000 for $1,100 is a reasonable deal. Considering the work that goes into it. It's a matter of my time for your money.
And if you check. ANY good editor is going to charge you that much and more. Trust me, I've been looking into it for years.
Slight Edit: I have done more recent research and most editors are charging even higher amounts and some even charge by the hour now. I'd say that while my prices seem high, they aren't. Especially when you consoder for example: Editing a 22000 word document would take me roughly two weeks. To do it right that is. And that's two weeks of intensive work.

Believe it or not I've been in this business for ten years and I've watched the market prices sky rocket. Its why I decided to start doing my own editing and proofreading. $45 an hour is insane... and $20,000+ for the size of the Novels I write is just not worth my time. Works out to something like 18 cents a word. Now you tell me if the prices I charge are too steep?

I have a couple serials I have writen that I was considering trying to turn into novels. (They would be pornos) But at those prices I don't see how I could afford to do that.
