Typical Rates for Typical Projects

I’m always hesitant to “quote rates,” because even “typical” sorts of projects have nuanced differences. I would encourage you to take the following as a few examples, and drop me a line on the Contact Form to discuss your particular ideas. The rates I quote are much less than I make in my company, but these rates reveal my desire to affordably provide help, particularly to college students who are too often not getting the attention they really deserve from their professors. I accept payments via check and cash. I don’t go through the hassle and expense of processing credit cards. These are “side gigs” for me to stay active in education and to help a few people.

College Term Paper Editing — $50 for 5-7 pages

This is a thorough edit in which I read the paper from a professor’s point of view, and I provide detailed notes (sometimes more pages of notes than the paper itself) about how to better organize the paper, how to employ better transitions, grammatical problems, sentence structure, word choice, and a host of other aspects of a paper that can take it from a “barely pass” to an A-grade. I do not write or rewrite papers! I very much believe in academic honesty! So, if you are basically looking for me to ghost-write your paper, move along. However, if you want a genuine learning experience, so that you can actually improve as a writer, I would love to offer helpful insights.

Tutoring — $50 per hour

I offer tutoring that can help you be more successful with philosophy, critical-thinking, logic, LSAT-prep, and GRE-prep.

Writing Projects — Rates per project

I can quickly producing blog-posts, articles, or even book-length manuscripts. I can write in any desired style for projects ranging from technical documents to “fluff-pieces” of just a paragraph in length. Either as a one-off or a recurring gig, let’s talk about producing the material you need. (Again, I do not ghost-write academic term papers.)

Editing Projects — Rates per project

To my mind, it has become a pathetic commentary on the state of writing education in this country that most news outlets clearly don’t have good staff editors! Just scroll through what you see on Yahoo News, for example, and click a few articles at random. The spree of grammatical errors, obviously bad word-choices, and overall lack of organization shows how low the editorial bar is. If you want better for your production, let me show you how the writing you depend upon can be upgraded.

Obviously, the above is not an exhaustive list. But I hope that it’s enough to give you some ideas.
