I can suggest Fiverr. They have many people there (with their fees listed) and they will give you a quote. They edited my last novel. Paige Lawson was her name. Very smooth process. Should be reasonable with that low word count. My novel was 69K words and she only charged me $350.

Good luck.

My mom is a former editor and could certainly use a quick gig here or there. If Paige doesn't work out lemme know. I'm pretty sure she'd beat Paige's $250, to boot.

425 (a user here, you probably saw him post in GMD) proofread and edited my Ayreon discography posts. Not sure he'll be willing to do this but I really liked his insights on my writeups, he seemed to really know what he was doing :) Maybe try to contact him.

Paige would probably be in the $40 to $50 range, or less for only 500 words.

I giggled for a second that I could use one as well.

She quoted me $90 USD but it is too much, I only charge the client $150 USD for the 4-500 articles. And had to pay the writer $60 USD so, I would end up with nothing but a happy client.

What's her quote to proofread 2000 words?

If you end up needing someone different, PM me. I have a friend who's an editor.
I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.

Hello,

Such a specific post haha.  Well I've been moonlighting as a  translator / editor for years on the side.  Mostly STEM field articles and papers.  I'd be up to see what you need.
