International pricing for developmental editing
Across my website, the prices for my novel editing services are listed in US dollars as that is where most of my clients are based. However, I have many amazing clients from across the world so I can invoice and accept payment in the below currencies.
All of my prices are per word but I also include indicative costs for a novel of 80,000 words because math is hard!
Keep in mind I update this price list periodically based on changing exchange rates.
