How Business-Smart Editors Calculate, Quote and Attract Serious Clients
The definitive, practical pricing guide for a sustainable editing, ghostwriting and publishing business that African editors have long required.
Professional Rates by Chisom Utibe Akah is the definitive, practical pricing guide for a sustainable editing, ghostwriting and publishing business that African editors have long required. Many freelance editors and business owners across the continent struggle to scale their businesses, primarily because there is no transparent standard of rates, and professionals are rarely equipped to calculate their work comprehensively, quote their rates confidently, and position their services.
This phenomenon makes editors constantly undercharge, earning income that drips in slowly, while dealing with clients who do not respect the value of their work. Consequently, many editors resort to working multiple jobs to survive, a reality the author experienced for eight years during the early stages of her practice, balancing four different roles, blogging, and freelance editing simultaneously. This book ends that toil.
Inside this book, you are guided to calculate manuscript editing, ghostwriting and publishing services logically, clearly and repeatably, and to quote rates confidently while attracting clients that actually pay.
Enter your proofreading fee per Editing Page and instantly generate your complete rate sheet for all three service levels, based on the CAPE Method from Professional Rates.
Select the level of access that aligns with your professional aspirations and scaling objectives.
Checkouts safely routed via Selar. Regional currency conversions auto-applied.
