How Much Does It Cost?

My approach is driven by passion: I do this because I want to, not because I need to. This enables a flexible and collaborative approach to pricing. If I believe in your project, we will work together to find an investment level that reflects its unique value and your specific needs.

Instead of rigid, fixed-price tariffs, I assess each project individually. What the project will cost will depend on factors such as the complexity and length of the material, the type of service needed (e.g., coaching, copy editing, substantive editing), and the project timeline.

Let’s start with a free, no-obligation conversation. This initial 30-minute meeting is crucial for both of us: it allows you to determine if I’m the right fit for your project, and for me to understand your needs and vision fully. Together, we’ll explore how our collaboration could best bring your writing to fruition.

While every project receives a custom quote, I align my pricing with the National Union of Journalists’ Freelance Fees Guide. As a general rule, my services are typically priced at around £35 per hour. However, depending on the nature of the work, I am also happy to provide quotes on a per-word basis (particularly for editing) or offer an all-inclusive figure for a clearly defined task or project. 

A rule of thumb is I will charge in the region of £35 per hour for my services – but everything is negotiable! Alternatively, I am happy to quote on a per word basis) for general editing or I am equally happy give you an ‘all-in’ figure for an agreed task/job. Investing in experienced guidance is investing in your writing’s success. My goal is to provide the tailored support needed to make your story shine, reach wider audiences, and achieve genuine resonance.

Ultimately, the best way to determine the investment for your unique project is through conversation. Let’s chat about exactly what you envision, and from there, I can provide a tailored quote. Drop me a line, and let’s explore the possibilities together..
