Common Questions
Why do editing prices vary? Scope, clarity of the draft, formatting complexity, and deadline are the biggest drivers. For instance, if your project has special requirements (tight deadline, heavy formatting, academic references, AI-assisted drafting, or sensitive subject matter), your final estimate will vary from the results of this calculator.
What if I’m between two editing levels? Choose the higher level for planning, then confirm in your estimate request. Not sure what “editing levels” are? Look here for an explanation.
