For works of fiction up to 80,000 words, I aim to have the manuscript back to you in three to four weeks. With nonfiction, however, it depends on the word count and the level of editing required. A line edit on a 2,000 word promotional piece, for instance, may take longer than an edit on a 5,000 word blog story. I can copyedit nonfiction work on an urgent basis, but the hourly rate will be necessarily higher. It should go without saying, though, that copyediting cannot be rushed. I cannot meet impossible deadlines.
