Professional and affordable copy-editing and proofreading services

What I can do

I professionally polish and expertly enhance all types of text – from magazines, websites and marketing material to books, dissertations and reports.

If you’re not sure whether your project needs basic proofreading or extensive editing (or something in between), don’t worry. We can work this out together.

Options 1, 2 and 3

For simplicity, I've divided my services into three options. In reality though, each project is unique, so we can discuss a more flexible, bespoke option based on your requirements.

1 Basic proofread

Happy with what you’ve written but need help to weed out those tricky, hard-to-spot errors? This option’s for you.

Think of this as the final quality control stage before your text is published. Includes checks for spelling, punctuation, grammar, accuracy, consistency and sense.

From £10 per 1,000 words.
Student discount: from £9 per 1,000 words.

2 Proofread deluxe

Looking for feedback on how to make your writing even better, but feel your words don’t need the deeper work that copy-editing involves? Option 2's probably for you.

It includes all the basics of an Option 1 proofread, plus added suggestions and advice to improve readability, clarity, flow and structure, etc.

From £12 per 1,000 words.

3 Copy-editing

If your writing needs some tender loving care (or even major surgery), in the form of rewriting and restructuring, copy-editing is the answer.

Copy-editing is shaping, reworking and rewriting raw text (known as ‘copy’), including checking for error, sense, consistency, repetition and ambiguity. Also looks at wider issues such as tone, tense, style, level, pace, structure, headings and cross-references.

From £15 per 1,000 words.

Minimum fees

For very small projects, I have a minimum charge. For proofreading it’s £40 (or £35 for students) and for editing it’s £50.

A note on pricing

As every editing project is completely different, my fees are not set in stone. I may charge you a little bit less, or a little bit more, depending on the work required and the deadline.
