There is no set answer to this question as the cost of a copy editor can vary depending on factors such as the length of the document, the level of editing required, the turnaround time, and the editor's experience and location.

That said, a general guide for the cost of copy editing can be found here:

The cost of a copy editor depends on various factors, including the length of the document, the level of editing required, the editor's experience, and the client's budget. Generally, copy editors charge by the hour or by the word. A typical hourly rate for a copy editor is $30-$40, while a per-word rate may be around $0.10-$0.20.
