Estimates and Quotes

For most projects we can work up an estimate if you provide us with some basic information:
  • Number of words or number of double-spaced manuscript pages
  • Topic of the document
  • Work needed
  • Time constraints
With this information, we will give you as accurate an estimate as possible. In some cases this may be a range. For a firm job quote, however, we will need to see the project.




Editing Speeds

Most work falls into these ranges:
  • Heavy Copyediting: 250 to 1,000 words per hour
  • Medium Copyediting: 750 to 1,500 words per hour
  • Light copyediting: 1,000 to 1,750 words per hour
  • Proofreading: 2,000 to 2,750 words per hour



Billing

  • Billing of services typically occurs within 5 working days of the job's completion. For large-scale work (such as extended manuscripts), we will invoice on completion of the first 50 billable pages and for every 50 thereafter and/or upon completion.
  • We work very hard to turn out quality work in a timely fashion. As such we request invoices to be paid upon receipt.
  • Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding future or current billable work.
