I think it depends on what you’re editing. Even ME jobs with 5 medical journals to oversee can pay poorly. I’ve seen $60K to $80K for that sort of thing. Rarely, I’ve seen $90K or higher for ME positions. I’m guessing that book publishing is even lower, but I base that only on what my lower-level friends make at Penguin Random House, and that is terrible. (I had to quit a freelance proofreading/copyediting gig at a big house because it paid nothing [$28 an hour unless it was a rush]; I loved it but couldn’t afford it.)
