Do I need copyediting or proofreading?

Copyediting

Copyediting polishes your story so it keeps readers riveted. It also ensures your writing adheres to whatever style guide suits your genre. I work in both the Chicago Manual of Style and the AP Stylebook. Both use Merriam-Webster as their dictionary of choice. I edit in US English.

Copyediting rates typically range from $0.017 to $0.027 per word. That's $17 to $27 per 1,000 words.
