• Standard page format in MS Word = 8 ½" x 11", double-spaced, default margins, 12 point Times New Roman.
• For text in other formats, see the per-word rates below.
• Charges are calculated based on the number of pages or words as sent, before editing.
• If the rate for your project adds up to less than the minimum, the minimum applies. (So, if you have one page for copy editing, it would be $15, not $3. Five pages would still be $15, but six pages would be $18.)
