    Well, it depends on the length and nature of the content.

    Well I did quite a bit of research through Google and found some guides for prices. People either tend to charge per word or per page.

    Price submitted was $1,000 for a 250 page book, 70k words. Will wait to hear what the reaction is, but it is competitive based on what I found.

    I'd better agree with the person above me, lest I have to do all the review and googling again. Yes, that means I'm available too.

    Could you share a bit more detail with us?

    Are you interested in getting a job done or was it a general enquiry about the pricing?

    I would appreciate if you would be clear enough with your question. If you want any job assignment to be done, you could open up an auction for the assignment. You can then get the best price.But for you have to specify the job requirement that needs to be done.

    If you read my second post it should make more sense - I was trying to gauge how much I should charge a client for the job. I am not looking for others to do the job for me.

    Sorry for any confusion.
