Are there any professional copy editors reading my blog? I need a quote on a copy editing job for a 90,000-word manuscript.

I do freelance editing sometimes. My services are typically $30 per hour. But I would not be available until Christmas or summer.

Hey, I’d totally rather the money went to you than to a stranger. I’ll need it done by January 15, so I guess it can wait until Christmas. I need the manuscript of my book changed from MLA to Chicago Style. Footnotes should go to endnotes and the bibliography has to be changed. I don’t need any proofreading, just the format change. I have the publisher’s style sheet as guidance. Would you be interested in doing it for $800? I think this is the amount I’d be able to get for it.

Yeah, I’d definitely be interested. Plus, hubby’s business always slows down around the holidays, so I could use the money. School ends for me officially on December 16, but I might be able to start it the previous weekend and work on it intermittently over the course of finals week and then into the following week, if necessary. I definitely could have it finished by Christmas. And if you want to go with a flat rate of $800, that would be easy. Or if you’d rather I do hourly, then that’s fine. Just let me know. You can email me at fieuponthisquietlife at gmail dot com if you want to talk more about it.

Sounds like you’re already sorted with Fie, but if that falls through for any reason I’d be happy to take it on. I edit 3 days/week and have plenty of availability before Christmas. My main business is editing for authors who have English as a second language, but I am familiar with Chicago. My website and contact details are at http://www.bremnerscientific.com
