My rates ...
I proofread your material in the following format:
· Onscreen proofreading of Word files, using the Track Changes function
Proofreading and editorial work
I prefer to charge per 1000 words* as this allows you to know in advance how much you will be charged, but I can charge per hour if you prefer. The rate per 1000 words/per hour is the same.
My prices are open to negotiation on large projects.
Proofreading
Per 1000 words: £15.00
Proofreading looks at the formatting, end-of-line breaks, paragraph and sentence spacing, and typographical errors. It also points out errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation.
If you are about to go to press, upload your file to the internet, or distribute it to your readers, this is the service to request.
Copy editing
Per 1000 words: £18.00
This includes all of the above, plus checking tables, lists and URL links. I may comment on continuity and do some minor rewriting if clarity is an issue. This does not cover significant changes or revisions.
Line editing (Content editing)
Per 1000 words: £20.00
This includes all of the above and also points out things such as wordiness, overused words, repetitive sentence or paragraph structure. Line editing and copy editing have some similarities, but there is a difference. Line editing focuses more on paragraph structure, sentence flow, and word choice, plus checking the following: times, dates, names, figures, calculations, abbreviations, acronyms, use of gender pronouns, flow and consistency in style and font. Some minor rewriting will be offered if clarity is an issue. This does not cover significant changes or revisions.
Please note:
You will be sent the corrected version, showing the changes made using the Track Changes function in Microsoft Word ®. This feature clearly identifies any errors and suggested corrections which you can then either accept or refuse.
* For work that is less than 2000 words or two hours, you will be charged at the rate for 2000 words/two hours. This applies to proofreading and copy/line editing. If charged by the hour, time will be rounded up to the next hour if over 30 minutes.
If you have any questions, please contact me and I will be happy to talk with you.
