Copy editing: booking fee

£100.00

Copy edit

  • The copy-edit stage concentrates mostly on the mechanics and the technical aspects of the MS (spelling, grammar, punctuation, consistency), and I would make additional suggestions as appropriate. 

    I’d create a style sheet that maps out the style I’ve enforced, preferred spelling, character details etc for consistency. This is very useful for the proofreading stage, and also if you are planning a series.

Price:

  • from £16 per 1,000 words

  • final price to be confirmed after I have assessed sample material; I’m happy to do this before you commit to booking / paying the booking fee

Payment stages: 

  • £100 booking fee to schedule the project

  • the remaining balance split half on project commencement and half on completion, to be paid by bank transfer. The project will be returned to you following receipt of the final payment.

Overseas clients

I’m very happy to accept work from clients who live outside the UK.  In order to ensure the payment received matches the fee exactly, I recommend using my Wise business account. (Wise is typically cheaper than traditional banks, especially for international transfers, and it’s a very transparent service.)
