Hey, guys. John here. I agree that the pricing is high but I'm collecting some of the best editors in the business. There are plenty of fiverr folks who will make sure your and you're are right but we are working within the confines of your needs, brand, and organization to bring out your best.
As for our tech we are currently building out a few cool features but as it stands you and your editor can talk via Slack and share documents as necessary. This is a very hands-on process. Again, if you don't want that there are plenty of options.
Let me know what else you guys would like to know!

@johnbiggs John this is touching on a major personal and commercial need. Editors have so much quality and fit variance, I would like to see the editor profile before paying. I'm looking forward to different tiers of pricing and quality. When will you be quitting your day job to build this fulltime?

@johnbiggs there are also plenty of professional journalists/editors that are at a high level that got paid $40k a year at their last newspaper job. Professional freelance journalists don't get paid even a third of the rate listed above.
You create velvet rope with your price tag, you lose most of your audience. (And if you're trying for an elite user base, you need to say that.)
I hope you find a balance with your pricing.

@johnbiggs I'm confused who the pricing model appeals to. If I'm cool dropping $1600 on a 500 word blog post (the average) then I probably have an in-house editor or at least a regular freelance editor. I still love the idea though and I'll try it out - just maybe for something smaller
