EFA Updates Rate Chart

The Editorial Freelancers Association recently updated its chart of common editorial rates for multiple types of freelancing—writing, indexing, editing, translating, etc.

Notably, the units used for measuring common writing rates have changed since 2008 (the oldest version of the rate chart we could find online): instead of “book pages” writing rates are now measured by the word.

But assuming a book page is 250 words, a good rate for writing in 2008 was 20 cents-44 cents per word, or $40-$125 an hour.
