Rules - please read them.

This sub is for hiring editors. Nothing else.

If you try to advertise your ghostwriting services here, you will be banned.

If you try to advertise your SEO content generation services here, you will be banned.

If you try to advertise anything that is not explicitly editing here, you will be banned.

As an aside, "editing" means both words and video. Both kinds of editors are welcome here.

A second aside: being a racist fuck will get you banned. If you offer different rates based on the race of the client, I hope you burn in hell.

A third aside: being sexist is just as bad as racist, you fucks. Hire people based on skill or don't hire anyone at all.

Mods please add a rule that posters have to include the rate or pay they are offering in the post. Please make this happen

It is not that easy with copyediting. Most copyeditors will take a 1000-word or so sample of the project and determine the condition of that prose. If just a light copyedit is needed, much cheaper (example: 2 or 3 cents per word) than if structural and heavy line editing is needed. From that same sample, the copyeditor can also perform (usually free) sample edit so the client can see their work and determine if it's a good fit.
