GeckoEdit.com is 3 years old today! I'm celebrating by curling up with my freshly delivered copy of Amy J Schneider's The Chicago Guide to Copyediting Fiction because I'm a big old nerd, she's awesome, and I've been waiting for it for aaages. This thing is worth its weight in gold. You can get digital copies now from Chicago Press, or preorder the paperback version, which comes out next month: https://bit.ly/3IeeOq7

@steaphan 100% agree: Good cover and good editing are absolutely vital. If the writer's new to the self-pub systems, getting some help on formatting can also be worth some cash first time through (or trading services with another writer who's more experienced).
If a client doesn't have the money, they'll have to settle for something less than their ideal. Shopping around and being willing to spend less on some things and do more themself is necessary.
I will occasionally do "single pass" edits—which are super-light and get the client a very short editorial crit to work from—when asked, but I still have to charge $800 for my time, because it takes most of a week to read 90K and write up the notes (plus my bookkeeping/invoicing).

My response to an #indieauthor on Twitter, asking if $6k for an edit on her manuscript, based on word count alone, was ridiculously high:
Depends on word count, genre, and what level of edit. I start around $2.5K for developmental edit on 90-120K genre fiction manuscripts. Longer books, Coaching, Non-Fiction, line-edit, and Technical editing cost more. I don't do Copyedit or final proof.

Periodic reminder for my #Edibuddies as the holiday season approaches:
"Just dashing off a quick quote" means you're working.
"Just doing a bit of admin" means you're working.
"Just sending an invoice" means you're working.
"Just updating my expenses" means you're working.
Value your labour and time, #FreelanceEditor friends!

It's a new age. I have begun REMOVING commas from a manuscript. Wonder if that says anything about the author, or my continuing education? #editor #bookeditior #fictioneditor #freelanceeditor #amediting
