Neat idea. After reading "Simple, transparent pricing" I was unable to find any clue about the pricing on the website. And that would be nice as I would love to have any idea what sum should I plan in my budget ;)

@adamlabedzki I found that to be pretty odd too. You have to upload a document to see a price. I uploaded the first pdf I could find (legal form from a dentist) and got "$160 for 536 words".

Interesting project! I'd be curious to know how the platform looks on the editor's side - any specific tools to streamline the process?

IMHO, you should raise prices and provide a deeper service. I think there is a gaping market need for editing the caliber of the team you're putting together should be able to provide. Nevertheless, I think the example on the site doesn't reflect well on the offering. The editor introduces some real clunkers such as "...have been downloaded 130 billion, times..." and "...me-to social networks." The prolific use of adverbs is also not to my Strunk & Whiteish taste. Individual sentences and paragraphs are improved to be sure, but the meandering structure of the "before" copy remains the same: a many-paragraph introduction that apps are big (duh) before shifting to the specifics of the enterprise IT landscape (whose thesis is still buried.) Wouldn't a Techcruncher mock the use of "hyperspeed" in a headline? As other commentators note, there is a difference between proofreading and editing. Editing is harder. An editor needs to collaborate with the author to find the end vision is so they know in what direction to steer the text. (Gartner-group appropriate white paper? James Altucher-esque email blast? The example has both styles.) If you've assembled an elite team of editors I would amend the Typewriter business model to include a consultation from the start about the client's vision, ask for samples of work they are trying to emulate in addition to their first copy...and, good news, charge much much more for the process. Have both an editor and a proofreader. In the enterprise IT world (if that's your beachhead, given the example) your prospective customers won't have a problem with a higher price (say, a $2500 minimum) that is a more robust solution. Good luck!

Great idea. I rely on a fairly informal reciprocal network of folks who write and have professional experience in topics I write about today - it's nice to know of other alternatives, especially for more long-form content. This will be super-valuable if you classify and can search for editors w/ experience w/ certain types (and topics) of content.

This looks like an awesome service. I'd be interested to see them expand into AI editors after they have amounted a substantial amount of documents and data.

This is incredible. I will use Upwork for normal proofreading, but I would need professional editor for quality blog posts. Great idea.
