When you’re planning your editing budget, it’s easy to focus on the total cost and forget the hidden advantage of volume. At majesco.co.za, we offer tiered per‑word rates, meaning the more words you bring, the less you pay per word. It’s not just generosity: it’s economics.

The Logic Behind Volume Discounts

Editing TypeTypical Rate (ZAR)Why It Drops for Larger Projects
Deep EditsR 0.35 / wordOnce the editor understands your voice, efficiency improves.
GhostwritingR 0.65 / wordLonger manuscripts allow smoother creative flow and fewer resets.
Copy EditingR 0.55 / wordConsistency across chapters reduces time spent on corrections.

Editors invest time upfront learning your tone, structure, and goals. By the time they’re halfway through, their rhythm is set, so the cost per word naturally drops.

Budgeting Tips for Writers

  • Plan your word count early. Knowing your manuscript’s length helps you negotiate fair rates.
  • Bundle services — combining copy editing and proofreading often earns a discount.
  • Ask for scaling — the editor at Majesco.co.za appreciates transparency and will offer sliding rates for large projects.
  • Track revisions — fewer rounds mean less cost and faster turnaround.
