Computed from the published single cut packages of active editors who list the niche and format you chose. Range is the 25th to 75th percentile, rounded to $5, multiplied by quantity, then run through the same fee calculation checkout uses. Nothing here is a quote until an editor accepts.
How the number is made.
Every figure on this page is computed from the live roster and the order records, and the result above is the same arithmetic the server ran for this link.
Active editors who list your niche and format, and whose stated first-draft turnaround fits your limit.
The 25th to 75th percentile of their package prices for the tier you picked, rounded to whole $1.
Quantity × price, then the same quote() checkout uses: 5% on top for you, nothing hidden.
What we measured, and what we would not.
