My fees
I've structured my fees so that they're be fair to both you and me. I charge by the word, not by the hour, so you'll know before I start how much you will have to pay.
I've introduced a progressive pricing scheme, so longer pieces of work will attract a lower price per word. A progressive scheme is a bit more complicated than paying a flat rate of tax, but it's much fairer. See my fees page for more details. If you pay up front, I'll even knock 5% off the fee. How's that for fair? |
My qualityI take pride in delivering a reliable, professional service. I'm not a machine or a large, impersonal company, but neither am I working from a table in my spare bedroom; I have my own office and dedicated software. That means that I can give your work the time and energy it needs to make it as good as possible.
Editing isn't just about checking mechanically for typos or ironing out inconsistencies and errors. Nor is it about sticking to outdated rules that cramp the natural style of your writing. It's about helping writing to convey meaning, to make it beautiful, to polish it so that it shines. |
