How much will it cost?
My
rate is $50 (USD) per hour, and the total cost will depend on the size and
quality of the document.
The average charge for a paper is about $300 (6 hours) plus the cost of money transfer but some papers require only 3 hours ($150) and others require 10+ hours ($500+). You have some control over the cost because papers that require more than 5 or 6 hours almost always require at least one revision, i.e., I return the edited paper to the author and ask for clarification. At that time, I tell the author how many hours I have spent (it will usually be less than 6 hours at that time), and he/she can decide whether they want to revise the paper and return it to me for further editing. If the author does not want further editing, I send an invoice. If the author wants me to continue, she/he revises the paper and returns it to me with explanation as needed. I then continue editing and add to the charge.
You are responsible for the cost of money transfer.
