Proofreading / editing rates are based on the number of pages of 1,500 characters (including spaces) to be edited.

They include quality control (the document will go through at least two edits).

Proofreading / editing services do not include layout.

 

Those rates depend on several factors:

• length of the document (number of characters)
• quality of the document (clarity of message, style, inconsistencies)
• type of work required
• complexity and technicality of the text
• style of the document (e.g., literary, technical, administrative)
• creativity involved (e.g., literary or marketing)
• inclusion of references to be edited according to the standards
• required deadline
• format of the document (e.g., Word, PDF, PowerPoint) 

The rates provided are for guidance only since they vary according to the length and complexity of the document, the type of work and the deadline required. 

 

All prices are net prices (VAT tax does not apply).

Regardless of the number of pages, there is a minimum charge of €25.00.
