Cat & Quill’s prices are competitive with the industry standard.  When you contract for editing or consulting with Cat & Quill, you know in advance how much you will pay for our services.  We charge on a per-page basis as opposed to hourly, so if we are having a slow day, you will pay the same price you would on a three-cups-of-coffee day.  You will never be presented with a bill in excess of the amount to which all parties agree.  No surprises.  As an added value, Cat & Quill stretches the standard industry of 250 words per page to 300 words per page. 

Please contact us with information about your project so we may give you a customized price quote.
