The editorial process
How much will it cost?
Every project is different. Some manuscripts require minimal intervention; some require heavy editing. This is why I offer a free-sample service – it helps me to accurately gauge your requirements and quote fairly.
My rates are competitive and based on the premise of value. For suggested minimum rates, see the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. However, I do provide indicative pricing (based on fiction editing):

About Ellison Editorial
It all began with a simple idea: a love of the English language. From devouring the whole set of Famous Five books across a childhood summer to my lengthy tenure as Head of English, I can't recall a time when I wasn't obsessed with words and the power they can wield.
Now a certified proofreader and editor – with some freelance journalism thrown in – I draw upon my enduring relationship with words in every project.
My approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything I do reflects my commitment to excellence and value.
