Pricing

The cost for your project will depend on your document’s length and complexity, the type of service you need, and your preferred turnaround time. Not sure if you need proofreading or editing services? Read this article.

Contract types and rates

My typical rates for academic manuscripts are as follows:

Proofreading

25

per 1000 words
Or

  • €0.025 per word
  • about €6 per page (1 page has 250 words)
  • €36 per hour

Editing

35

per 1000 words
Or

  • €0.035 per word
  • about €9 per page (1 page has 250 words)
  • €36 per hour

My rates for technical editing are 15% higher than those for academic manuscripts, but I typically charge per project rather than per hour.

Ask for an estimate

Each editing or proofreading project is unique, so please contact me to receive a personalized quote for your project. My fee for editing or proofreading services will be negotiated with the client for each individual project.

When you ask for an estimate of the cost of your project, please provide the following information:

  • Word count of the document
  • What you need (proofreading or editing—light editing, heavy editing, other)
  • Any concerns about your manuscript; for example, the paper is too long, a part of it was written by a different author or AI tool
  • File format
  • The date by which you need the work done
  • If you have a fixed budget

All my invoices will be in euros (EUR). I accept these types of payments:

  • Credit or debit card (processed through Stripe): Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club International, China UnionPay
  • Bank transfer: SEPA or other wire transfer processed through Stripe, including Bancontact, EPS, giropay, iDEAL, Przelewy24, Sofort
