Hi Saint,
Yes, I understand your position. On our end, an editor works for $30/hour, then there is marketing costs and other overhead; our profit margin at 6 cents per word is therefore very small. We have tried to hire less qualified editors for less both in N. America and abroad. Unfortunately the result is lower than expected quality of work and complaint from our students. So, we are now only offering this higher level of work at a premium price. For those who can afford it, it is very useful. Nevertheless, I do understand that budget can be limiting.
