How to Calculate Payment

1. In MS Word, see the Tools or Review menu / Word Count. Or, for double-spaced text, you can estimate by figuring 300 words per page.

2. Round to the nearest thousand words. (For example, if your document has 3499 words, estimate 3000. For 3500 words, estimate 4000.)

The rate for this level of editorial service is $20 per 1000 words.

When you make your order, please enter the appropriate "quantity" of 1000-word edits at $20 each. In the second example above (4000 words), your "quantity" would be 4.

Your PayPal payment page will look like this:

Pay To: Nowick Gray

I look forward to hearing from you! 

Founder of HyperLife Editing Services, Nowick is experienced in all types of editing. Satisfied clients write...

"Awesome as usual. I love the way you clear the knots and creases to make the text a smoother read. It develops my writerly/literary muscle to meet some of the questions you raise. It also helps me in seeing the direction of the novel more clearly. Many thanks."
--Paulo da Costa, Commonwealth Writers Prize winner 2003.

"Love love love the edits!  Fabulous!  So worth every penny!  I don't know how you do it, it must be painful, I'd run out in traffic if I had to read someone else’s unedited stuff and then fix it. Once again thank you.  Every edit was perfect and fit so well."
--Lisa Woodcamp, http://www.crazymoosetracks.com/
