Thanks for the input! Does her rate of $3.00-5.00 per page seem reasonable to you?

The big question is, before discussing fees, is what have they edited in the past? Is it a successful series? Did they edit the first book? Did they aid in getting it published?

Honestly, I think that most authors know more about the lives of their editors than they did of their spouses when they got married.

Editors usually charge by the word. I think I read something like .015 per word... if I can find the site, I'll send you the link. Count the number of words per page and figure it out. At first sight, the rate does not look bad.
