Editing Services
The Writing Center maintains a list of qualified community editors for interested community members. While requestors are welcome to negotiate rates and deadlines with individual editors, they should expect to pay approximately $.08 - .20/word for professional editing or consulting services. Rates may increase depending on factors such as turnaround time and type of editing needed. Payment is made to editors as independent contractors outside of University payment-processing systems (e.g., personal check, PayPal, Venmo).
Interested writers should contact the Writing Center with the following information:
- Name and contact information (email or phone)
- Topic of paper and specific field/discipline
- Length of paper
- Deadline
- Type of editing (basic copyediting, organization, argument, citations, etc.)
Once we've received this information, we will forward it to editors who best match the requirements. Interested editors will then contact the requestor directly to discuss payment, etc.
