Where/How Much for article editor?

by Robert M Gouge
5 replies
I'm looking for an article editor that I can send packs of personally written articles to weekly. This editor would then clean up my articles, making them free of all grammatical, spelling, etc errors. Packs will generally include anywhere from 5 to 10 articles per week (500-800 words per article).

I intend for these articles to be sold on Constant Content. They have the strictest review team around, so the articles have to be completely error free.

Turn around for this service needs to be fairly quick.

How much should I expect to pay for this service and where could I find an editor?

I looked on warrior for hire but didn't see anything there.

I'd be very interested in a partnership with an editor. Thanks in advance warriors.

    If you would like to find someone local then you should post an ad on Craigslist in your city.

    Otherwise, here are few sites that are global where you will find tons of offers for your posted job:

    elance.com
    freelancer.com
    odesk.com

    Hope this helps!

    I'd say $2-$3 would be a going rate for editing. It may be a bit higher figuring in that you want a quick turnaround and probably someone with sufficient experience to get perfectly edited articles. You could look on Elance, Freelancer, and other job bidding sites.

    Additionally, you could post a thread in the wanted thread here and see what kind of response you get.

    About $25 per hour (is an average of what typical publishers pay people who do that exact sort of work), I think. You might even find someone good enough for $20 per hour?

    Nobody will be able to tell you reliably, without seeing specimen articles first, how many of them they can do in an hour, but it might be quite a few, so it's not quite as expensive as it sounds.

    I know that several writers here disagree, but I always think this isn't a bad way of getting some reasonable-quality articles not too expensively, myself.

    Please don't misconstrue this post as an "announcement of availability", in case that needed to be said.

      Alexa is right.....it's a very cost effective way to get excellent quality articles.

      And......there are a few of us listed in the Warriors For Hire section.
