Rates
To provide clients with an upfront estimate of the total fee, I quote rates per word or per 250-word page rather than per hour. To determine the level of editing you require, see Services for details of each service and send me two or three sample pages of your document for my review and fee quotation.
For large projects and students, these fees are negotiable.
My fees are competitive. Some editing services charge less, but may not deliver on quality. Some services charge more, and may still not deliver on quality. For references on the quality of my work see Kudos. Rush fee An additional 10% of the total fee is charged for rush jobs.
Additional pages
Discrepancies in page counts will be discussed with the client. The cost of editing additional pages, not included in the original page estimate, will be added to the final invoice. Turnaround time may be affected.
Turnaround
Most projects can be completed within two to six days, depending on the complexity of the editing task. I will provide an estimate of the turnaround time when I have reviewed sample pages.
Payment
A deposit of fifty percent (50%) of the total fee is due when you sign the contract. The balance is due upon completion and delivery of the project. You will receive an invoice at that time. Payments can be made with a credit or debit card through an e-mailed Paypal payment request. You can also pay by check.
