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- €0.025 per word
- about €6 per page (1 page has 250 words)
- €36 per hour
Editing
€ 35
per 1000 words- €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.
