Magic writer, how much do you know about the factors that influence the cost of editing a book? A whole lot? Nothing at all? It's important that you understand the realities behind that heart-stopping price quote before you sign with an editor. I get it, I really do.

Dollars for this, dollars for that—and all on top of the growing cost of basic living. As a freelancer who chose freedom, flexibility, and the chance to direct my own course in life over the comfort and (false) security of a regular paycheck, that struggle is real. I'm also an author who hopes to one day publish her book, and then several more after that, and I'm already eyeing the coming expenditures with mounting dread.
