Across my website, the prices for my novel editing services are listed in US dollars as that is where most of my clients are based. However, I have many amazing clients from across the world so I can invoice and accept payment in the below currencies.
All of my prices are per word but I also include indicative costs for a novel of 80,000 words because math is hard!
Keep in mind I update this price list periodically based on changing exchange rates.
I also have a new pricing calculator to give you an instant quote and save you from having to math.
