I want to proofread but analyze: what does proofreading actually pay? Map proofreading rates: per-word, per-page, hourly. Calculate: time to proofread vs. payment = actual hourly rate. Show me the proofreading economics: pays this per hour of actual work. Give me the proofreading reality: rates are often low, need volume. Include: what proofreading pays, whether it's worth time, and how to price proofreading services.
