I've seen editors charge between $6-8 per page for copy editing. Dean is saying that they should charge $1.25/page but that seems too low. I suppose there is going to be variations perhaps for skill and experience. Would you risk your career using the cheapest and possibly an unskilled editor? I always thought the minimal qualification was B.A. English.
