Work Terms

Prefer to handle payment through Guru.com. Available to communicate with clients daily in the evenings during the workweek. Will communicate with clients on the weekend to meet deadlines when necessary. Prefer to communicate by e-mail or Yahoo IM. Have a very high standard of work ethic and timeliness, sensitive to confidentiality issues and take pride in what I do. My price for editing fiction and nonfiction is $2.00 per page and $.20 per word for writing. For math/science guides, I charge $3.00 per question including a rationale. Depending on the size of the project as well as the potential for a long-term relationship, I will consider negotiating these prices.
