The Importance of Presentation – Working with Professional Editing Services is Cost Effective

It's important to spend time and money to guarantee that your résumé, curriculum vitae, query letter business plan are mistake-free and present a professional appearance. The cost of not investing your time and cash into your documents may well make the difference between being accepted into graduate, professional, medical or law school, getting a promotion or a new job, or gaining a new consumer for your  business.  Are you willing to risk this? To gauge the cost of your time and use of  professional editing services, let's look at how much editing solutions generally cost and weigh that against losing a chance at a job that pays $75,000 a year.

If your document must be compelling, error-free and offer attractive formatting, the very first step is to make use of all solutions you have at your disposal to do your best on the project at hand and making a good impression. First, use the laptop or computer tools you have (e.g., spell and grammar check, Thesaurus) and software and Web assets to create your final draft. This step is vital and also a timesaver. If your doc is well –written and organized when you submit it to knowledgeable editor, the editor will be able to spend far more time on enhancing the language to meet the goal of your undertaking, instead of fixing huge quantities of incorrect spelling, grammar, punctuation and vocabulary that could have been corrected making use of available assets. Also, professional editors might cost a lot more for projects requiring larger amounts of editing.

Second, it's vital to check out several professional editing companies and compare costs and guarantees for completing the job. Opt for an editing firm that provides a free sample edit. This sample will help you judge the high quality of their work and let you get an idea of the total cost, levels of editing, turn-around-time, and the word-processing program they use for tracking edits. Start with FirstEditing.com, as they provide timely editing samples with feedback about editing your document. You can also get a price quote for the recommended level of editing and find out how much specific extra services cost (e.g., company and technical writing, manuscript synopsis, letter of inquiry, information updating).

You now have a doc which is in its final draft form. How much will it cost to edit? Various editing firms may well charge by the line, the page (double-spaced, 12 pt type and one-inch margin) or the document type. The fees can vary based on the t level of editing. For example, a manuscript (fiction) will cost much less than an academic paper that needs a specific style for citations and references and footnotes. If the customer expects content editing or technical updating, the prices could be higher. I have seen costs range from from $ .0375 to $ .11 cents per word. A book manuscript would cost about $18.75 for 500 words. A web page (about 250 words) costs about $10/page (or $9.40 according to .0375 per expression).  Hourly rates usually vary from about $20 – 35 each hour.

Let's look at the price of a 1000 word essay for a medical school. This would cost between $37.50 and $50.00. Is it worth it to ensure that your essay meets the needs set by the university, is error free and compelling? You are vying with hundreds of students who have the same test scores, GPAs and volunteer experiences. So how essential is the essay?

Or, you're applying for a new position and are competing with a hundred other applicants. Should you have a typographical mistake on your application, résumé or query letter, what are your chances of making into the top few applicants or of getting an offer? An editor can perfect and polish your letter, setting you apart from other candidates. Do you want to risk your dream career because you didn't want to spend under $100 for professional proof reading and editing?

Full manuscripts and academic papers are far more pricey because of the length and special editing needs. A 50,000 word manuscript (fiction) could cost about $1,875. A thesis that contains citations, references and footnotes could run about $2000. Put these fees in perspective, by considering the possibility of f having your manuscript published as a best seller, or completing your doctorate and getting an offer of a faculty position.

A publisher might not continue to read your manuscript if the first few pages are filled with errors. Hiring an editor is an investment in your dream and your career. Investigating editing companies, and requesting a sample and also a quote on your job should not cost you anything when working with professional editors. Prepare a sample that represents your best writing and editing abilities and submit it to see how a skilled editor can improve your work.
