My rates for proofreading work per 1000 words are listed below. These rates are subject to change, for example, if submitted work requires heavy editing and will take substantially longer than anticipated to complete, or when very short deadlines are required. For proofreading academic work such as essays, assignments, dissertations or academic papers, the cost is £17.00 (GB pounds) per 1000 words. If you would like me tocheck that the references and citations within your document marry up and are in the correct style, please ask at the time of booking the service. I charge a higher rate of £19.00 for this reference checking service, which is based on the total word count of the document and reference list.
For general proofreading work the cost is £16.00 (GB pounds) per 1000 words.
There is a minimum charge of £16.00 (GB pounds) for documents with less than one thousand words.
To see the word count of your document in Word simply glance down to the bottom of the screen to the status bar, or go to the 'Review' tab and click on word count.
Payment is requested in advance for each section of the work. For larger pieces of work, payment can be arranged in installments. This can be done by bank transfer (which is fee free for everyone), or Paypal. A small fee may be charged to cover Paypal administration fees. During busy periods you may wish to book ahead to secure a time slot for your work. For such bookings I may require a small non-refundable deposit. This deposit will be deducted from the cost of the proofreading provided the document is received by me, by the agreed date.
I am happy to proofread later versions of your work. However, I do chargeagain for this service, usually at the same rate as for the initial proofreading. This is because, generally, the work involved is equivalent to the first reading, since I still have to read through the entire document, and look out for any errors.
Please contact me if you have any further questions or would like to book a time slot. Many thanks, Jenny.
