Rates

Rates are negotiable and flexible. We can discuss the budget for your project. Some basic guidelines for writing and voice acting rates are…

Basic Writing Services

Resumes written from scratch are $60 USD.

Resumes updated and reformatted are $50 USD.  Cost is $20 USD to update a resume I previously formatted for you.

News articles (800-1,000 words) are 0.25 USD per word. (Simply rewriting a news article of less than 1,000 words is a flat rate per article of $50 USD).

Self-Defense articles (800-1,000 words) are 0.12 USD per word. Quantity discount is 0.10 USD per word for multiple articles.

Keyword/Search Engine Optimization (SEO) articles (450-500 words) start at $50 USD as long as you provide the information and the keywords needed.

Ghost-Writing

Ghost-written non-fiction (a typical how-to book) starts around $1,000 to 1,500 USD for short projects; typically these don’t cost more than $2,000 USD.

Ghost-written novels of up to 54,000 to 85,000 words start at $3,000 – $4,000 USD.

Larger writing projects and ghost-writing tasks must be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Please be prepared to provide me with an estimate of your budget for the project — this means you must let me know what you are prepared to pay. I will do my best to work with you within these parameters.

Transcriptions

• I will transcribe your digital audio at the rate of $75 per hour of recording. (Please note this is not an hourly rate of labor — it is $75 for every hour of the actual recording submitted. The cost to transcribe a two-hour recording would be $150, for example, regardless of how many hours it took me in real time actually to transcribe it. Recordings must be submitted electronically — I cannot accept cassette/Dictaphone tapes.

Audio and Video

My voice-overs rate is negotiable; please check with me.

 Videography is $35.00 USD per hour.  Billing includes video upload time, as this ties up needed resources.

Editing

 Editing previously written material is $25.00 USD per 1,000 words.
