Tariffs Editing English copy
1. Express / basic proofreading service
If the text requires only a final going over for any minor errors or omissions, we can offer lower rates and a rapid completion. This service is meant for well-written theses, dissertations, novels, articles etc. that are almost ready to submit or publish.
Rate: from R80 per 1000 words (8c per word), whether hard (paper printout) or electronic copy (MS Word file). Please note that for all hard copy work, you will be billed extra for any concomitant printing, courier or postage fees.
2. Light Editing Service
Our light editing service is suited to well-written work that still needs thorough proofreading and a final review, and includes minor editing and proofreading for spelling mistakes, typos, punctuation problems, capitalisation errors, clumsy grammar and overall fluency and readability.
Rates: from R120 / 1000 words (12c / word), whether it be hard copy (printout) or electronic copy (MS Word file)
please note that for all hard copy work, you will be billed extra for any associated printing / courier / postage fees.
3. Full Editing Service
This entails everything mentioned in our in-depth proofreading service, as well as a thorough review of the entire document / manuscript etc. Included in this service is any rewriting where necessary, checking for possible plot or character flaws, and generally ensuring that the work in question is good to go aside from a final proofread. During this process, we will also leave any relevant comments and / or queries related to your work in the margin for you to review once we have completed the editing process.
from R160 / 1000 words (16c / word), whether it be hard copy (printout) or electronic copy (MS Word file)
please note that for all hard copy work, you will be billed extra for any associated printing / courier / postage fees.
Important: these prices are a general guideline only, and in order for us to forward you with a final and binding quote, we request that you please e-mail us a random sample of your work (3-5 pages for any book / academic project) in order for us to accurately ascertain the amount of necessary editing / proofreading that is required.
Please also note that we require a deposit of fifty percent before we will begin working on projects of more than 10 pages, with the balance due upon completion. We also offer a five percent discount if you pay your entire invoice at the time you engage our services; and, in addition, we are negotiable when it comes to any repeat and ongoing work.
