Hourly rate: $40 USD

All payments are done via PayPal.

50% of the fee must be provided before the editing process commences. When half of the manuscript is edited, the last 50% will be charged. For example, a 10,000-word poetry book takes 10 hours to edit on average. The total fee would be $400. So, before getting started, you'll be charged $200. Halfway through the process, you'll be charged another $200.
-
You'll receive updates via email. Extensive consultations (not the updates) will be regarded as part of the editing process and will involve an additional payment.
-
I make sure to send a thorough freelance contract (pertaining to scope of service, intellectual property, compensation, and confidentiality) that we both sign before I start the project.

Rei is a talent that soars well above the standard of editors. I have worked with several editors and they are top notch. Being professional is easy for most—couple of good lines, little bit of manners— and you're good. They take it beyond that and through their work, shows the love for their craft. Personal and professional make this service the best I have used. They nailed the timeframe, price and deadline we had set, also "checked in" with me halfway through the project to inform me of the progress. I can not express this enough, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Rei, thanks for the care that you put into my dream.

Rei did an amazing job editing my manuscript providing critiques, suggestions, and edits that helped drive clarity in my messages and storytelling. They are in high demand, but waiting to get in their queue was well worth the time. They are a consummate relationship management professional with impeccable communication skills. Loved the way they provided updates on their progress. I will seek Rei out for future work.
