Can anyone  recomend a good editor who doesnt charge 10$ a page?

Re: Edit

Greetings,
  I am forwarding this email below from my own editor. She is excellent.
  During my work with Sacred Vow, I had three different professional editors. Diana was the best by far, and remains the editor for all my work.
Peace and wonder,

       Welcome to the ever-progressing horizon, where truth

        is but a  resting place until the next revelation.

Hello.

I am an experienced freelance book editor and book layout person with over 30 years' experience. I have worked with major U.S. publishers and independent authors.

What kind of edit do you need, and what schedule do you prefer?

I charge $40 an hour, plus the cost of a printout if I print the document out. (Cost is 15 cents per page.)

The cost per page varies, of course, depending on the amount of work a manuscript needs. For double-spaced, single-sided printouts with standard margins, I average 5 - 10 pages per hour unless a lot of work is needed. The lower count is for a heavy edit or for a screen edit, as typing is included; the higher count is for a paper edit.

If you send me a Word document (or some other compatible program) of a representative chapter of your book, and the length of the ms., I can give you a pretty good estimate of cost to edit.

Whatever you decide, I wish you luck in your endeavors.

Best to you and yours,

Diana Donovan [mailto:diatoday@msn.com]
