What we do
You won't pay a penny until you've received a price, and given us the go-ahead. Simply make an enquiry, and your work will be priced and then you'll be directed to our paypal.
​
We work with the Society for Editors and Proofreaders's guidelines and prices to ensure a professional service. Each document is individually priced and sent to you to make sure you're happy before we go ahead.
A typical A4 document for proofreading (Times New Roman, font 12) will cost from £12, depending on how much work you need doing. Have a look at the individual services below to see what you need.
To send us work, use the 'Let's Talk' page.
You can send us up to an A4 page (min font 12) of work, and we'll review it to tell you what you need. Use this for a discount on any services you need. We will:
-
Give you confidence by telling you if you need proofreading, and what we can do.
-
Correct one or two minor errors, if that's all you need.
-
Send you an email detailing exactly what we can do, and how much it'll cost
-
Give 10% discount the service you use next, if you go ahead with proofreading or editing.
