NOTE: these rates are not set in stone and are only an average for this editor. The actual rate applicable to your document will depend on the depth of the edit, the quality of the writing, the topic matter, the proximity of the deadline, the length of the document and several other factors.
You can expect top-quality performance from an editor who has handled virtually every editing task in technical publishing and who continues to add new skills. Probably the best recommendations are from her own managers. Here are some typical comments from performance reviews:
…Any description of Ann’s achievements must note that seven of her documents won STC awards this year: three for Merit and four for Excellence. One writer noted that it was Ann’s guidance that made the books award winners.
During the past year, Ann edited approximately 56 documents…The number of pages edited exceeded 7500 pages—an extremely impressive workload.
One of Ann’s major achievements this year was the maintenance and production coordination of the Style Guide…The obstacles in finalizing an ever-evolving, living document were daunting, but the result of this effort is a rich resource that will aid in the development of clear communication from all departments…
