Do you really pay .001 cents per word? So, proofing 1000 words would earn the proofer 1 cent?
Actually, your math is incorrect.
1,000 x .001 = $1.00
So, one dollar per 1,000 words.
However, we do have a minimum rate, and an average book is 80,000 words. A thousand words really isn’t very much.
I’m sorry, but I misread your comment and replied too quickly.
I’ve edited my response with the correct answer to your question.
Also, please note that your question refers to our old proofreading rate. Our rates were raised this month.
Thank you.
