Proofreading

Proofreading is about making sure that text is correct. It does not involve rewriting large chunks of material; it is the review of a final draft prior to its publication or intended use.

Our proofreading service will highlight:

  • any spelling mistakes,
  • any misuses of punctuation,
  • any grammatical errors, and
  • any inconsistencies in layout.

Proofreading rates:

£20 – 30 for the first 1,000 words of text,
£10 – £20 for every 1,000 words thereafter.
Word count includes text in any tables, diagrams or other illustrations.

How the proofreading service works:

1. Message us with details of your document via the link on our Contact page. Select Proofreading from the subject dropdown menu. Please upload a sample of your document, of no more than 500 words.

2. Receive a personalised quote in response via email: the total price for a proofreading review of your document in its entirety, as well as a confirmed date for its return.

3. Submit your document in its entirety for proofreading.

Please read our terms and conditions before submitting whole documents.
