Every project is different, of course, so this is a rough guide only.
I aim to be flexible and am willing to negotiate – especially if you feel your text doesn’t slot neatly into one of the pigeonholes described on this page – so please contact me for a no-obligation quote tailored to your text.
Making payment
I accept payment by bank transfer.
I do not charge VAT.
“I have just finished going through all the edited papers, and let me say you did a brilliant job.”
What next?
Please get in touch via my contact form, where you’ll be asked for details of your project – and to send me a sample of your text, if possible – so I can assess the type and extent of work needed. Or email me if you prefer. Once I’ve checked out the information, I’ll get back to you and we can discuss further and negotiate an appropriate fee.
Please note: I am currently accepting bookings from 16 June 2025.
