I am a published author using the pen names Ariel Paiement and Atlas A. Rose. Please note! The second pen name is not to be confused with Atlas Rose, a different author who writes erotica/steamy romances. I write philosophical/historical fiction under Atlas A. Rose, and the middle initial is crucial if you're trying to view examples of that work on Amazon or Goodreads. The examples of these works are available on the profile to make it easier to avoid the need to search all over for me on Amazon, but I like to point this out up front so those seeking to hire a ghostwriter are not confused about what I do and don't write. Aside from my own works, I have over six years of experience in critiquing and editing for other authors. I specialize in fantasy and creative nonfiction (blogging, biography, essays, etc.), but I can critique and edit many other genres as well. I have a MFA in Composition and English, and I possess a strong foundation in English grammar and punctuation. I am a native speaker. My particular areas of expertise are characterization, sentence and story flow, and grammar. My aim on every ghostwriting project is to provide you with a strong story that needs minimal to no edits beyond basic proofreading and formatting for publication. As my reviews will show, my clients love working with me precisely because I deliver work on time, communicate punctually if there are delays, and provide quality writing. My rates are as follows for ghostwriting: Plotting: .02/word Writing (on my own outline): .015/word Writing (outline provided): .02/word Editing beyond an hour per book: 30/hour I can negotiated on rates down to .015/word, but I cannot work for less, so please don't send interview invites if the highest you'll offer is less than that. Plotting includes unlimited revisions to get the story where you want it before we write off it. I will do edits up to an hour for free as part of my writing fee. Anything beyond that will be charged at the rate of 30/hour, a discount from my usual editing fee since I'm working on my own work and want you to be satisfied. However, I cannot do edits beyond that first hour without a fee since my writing rates don't cover more than the writing and that one hour. My aim on every editing project is to provide you with editing that is coordinated, efficient, and tailored to your manuscript. I love English and helping other writers, and my promise to all of my clients is to provide them with quality feedback that is honest but helpful. An edit from me means that your manuscript will receive every level of editing necessary to polish it into a reader-ready piece. My prices are reflective of what I would charge you for a deep edit, but I assess each job individually. If the work you have asked for is easier than a deep edit, which includes all levels of editing, I will either send a proposal with a lower bid if I'm applying or suggest a lower price in the interview process. As such, the hourly price I have listed is the highest I would charge for any project on an hourly basis. That price covers anywhere from 2-3k on difficult edits to 6-8k on easier edits. I usually bid with a price by the word because very few authors have ever wanted to do hourly, but if you prefer hourly, let me know and we can talk! Prices by word are below, and are based on the average cost for the services as given by the Editorial Freelancers Association (at the-efa.org). Copy editing price per word: .02 (fiction)/ .03 (nonfiction) Developmental editing price per word: .02 (fiction)/.04 (nonfiction) Line editing price per word: .04 Proofreading price per word: .02 For mixed editing types, I offer a by-the-word price based on estimated job difficulty and the types of editing it needs. Without a sample on the job posting, it is difficult to assess these two factors, so I typically default to .03 to .04 cents a word in these cases unless the post description offers me reason to bid lower. Upon completing the sample edit, I may offer the work at a lower price if it falls mostly under one type of editing or is easier to work with than average. I offer sample edits for 1000 words at a flat fee of 20 USD to every editing client as the first milestone so there is no obligation to continue with larger milestones if it turns out we are not a good match for one another. It also allows me to assess the work to give you a more accurate idea of how much I would charge based on actual editing workload per hour. I do not drop below .01/word due to the amount of time and effort comprehensive editing takes. If you are looking to hire for less than the rates above, please look to other freelancers.Fiction WritingKindle Direct PublishingGhostwritingWritingCopy EditingBook EditingRomanceEbook DesignLine EditingGoogle DocsEditing & Proofreading - $65 hourly
