491 hours? That works out to around... $100/hour.
Which gives a clue as to what your hourly rate is for some portion of your work. I gotta ask, being a nascent author with about 65% of my first novel and 31% of my second novel completed, just what level of editing was involved? Might want to hire you.
Was this a technical book or a novel? If a novel, did you have to do a great deal (I assume this must be the case with 491 hours logged on the project.) of story editing as well as basic grammar/syntax work?
I'm rather wondering, if it was a non-fiction work, were you cast in the role of making the book 'readable' to the average target audience?
So yes, all this information is relevant, considering how many of us who hang out here at MR are working on our own novels.

P.S. Was the editing work successful? IOW, is it possible to calculate how much more the author received because of your work?
