   how much should I charge for editing a 120 page master's thesis? finding mistakes, correcting grammar, sanity-checking content. no checking of references.

     @kaia Charge a few hundred dollars then just get GPT to do it.

     @kaia Not an answer to your question (apologies) but... who asks professional copy-editing for a master thesis? 😲

     @kaia IIRC from the last time I saw these things discussed, the fare is something like 1€/page if you're just checking stuff like typos and grammar, but 3 to 5 (or even more, depending on level) if you're also checking the content.

     @kaia 2k, 3k. they can do it with gpt nearly for free but if you charge a lot they won't think it's the same

     @lain might be good idea, because if I quote her high enough, maybe she leaves me alone :hehe:

     @kaia do double check with some editor in your area though, those rates are for Italy which is usually cheap in terms of pay 8-D
