I think you'll find my rates are reasonable and competitive for someone with my level of experience.

Reduced rates are available for larger and ongoing projects. Please contact me for a  not-to-exceed estimate. I will also do a free test-edit for larger manuscripts (10,000 words or more) to make sure you are happy with the quality of my work.

Ghostwriting, re-writing and feature writing
Got some great experiences or ideas to share? Let me help you put them in writing. I have excellent research skills and can quickly get up to speed on any topic. I am also adept at transforming the work of non-native English speakers into perfect English.

Copywriting                                                                      
Press releases are my specialty, though I am equally skilled at writing Web site content for SEO, blogs, e-newsletters, promotional letters, and brochures.  I can also help you reach a wider Web audience through various free online outlets and social media.

Editing                                                                               
My hourly fee is the same whether your text needs light, medium, or heavy editing. I know Chicago, AP, and APA style and can edit just about anything, including scholarly essays,  non-fiction books for publication, articles, technical manuals, Web copy, and dissertations.

Proofreading                                                                     
You can never have your work proofread enough times. I catch the things most people miss, and I'm not just referring to grammatical errors and typos, but also spacing, formating, and style consistency mistakes.

Though I live in San Diego, I am available to work on writing and editing projects anywhere in Southern California, or at longer distances via correspondence. Please contact me at chriszook@theconsciouswriter.com for a quote. For larger projects, I ask to be paid half in advance or at the very early stages of the project and half upon completion.
