Proofreading

If you have a proofreading project, please contact me with some basic details:

• Is it fiction or non-fiction?

• What format is it in (e.g. MS Word or PDF)?

• What is the word count?

• When do you need it proofread by?

It would be brilliant if you could also send me a sample of around 500–1,000 words from the middle of your text at this stage. I will then work through the sample free of charge for you. Once I have done this, I can decide how many hours it might take to proofread the whole document. Your personalised quote will then be sent to you and we can get the ball rolling. My hourly fee for proofreading is calculated using the rates suggested by the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP). Please see more information about this below.

What does proofreading usually cost?

The Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) publish information about the suggested hourly rate for proofreading. Please see more detail on suggested minimum rates by visiting their website.

Please note: If you need a very quick turnaround, then the quoted price will reflect this.
