For book reviewing I imagine one could charge whatever they could get someone to pay....Many of you may remember when I began my Real Estate paperwork business operating only in Las Vegas, I was very open and helpful to anyone asking me how to do it too. I gave many of you the complete strategy and full instructions of how to begin as you would not be competition for me....With the editing business its different as every editor everywhere is competition. I had many hits and misses in the beginning before testing my ideas and struggling to find my way, no one helped me and I understood. I charge a competitive fee that will help new writers and even though it is below the average fee charged, I still make a decent amount from each writer and don't gouge them. The writer receives the same results no matter what they pay, a manuscript thats ready for a publisher. Unlike my eagerness to help anyone in the RE business venture the editing business is different as every editor everywhere is competition. I struggled and found the way without any help from anyone, anywhere, and I bet you can all do the same, its really not that difficult. Sorry!
