    Hey,

    I've been offered a couple of projects that i may need to turn down, or outsource.

    To outsource i'd either need to edit myself or pay some one to proofread/edit.

    What is the typical rate for this?

    Replies from well established UK and US writers only please.

    It really depends on how bad the article is. If you hire some guy to write articles at $1 a piece, you couldn't pay me enough to edit them. If they're decent and only have minor mistakes, I'd do it for like $1-$2/article, depending on length.
