For Businesses
Why employ a copy-editor or proofreader?
Every word that your business puts out reflects on your organisation. At best, readers might get distracted and annoyed by inconsistencies and mistakes. At worst, unclear instructions and information can cause catastrophic misunderstandings. The most professional companies always make sure that their written output is polished, consistent and crystal clear, and hiring a professional editor is the easiest way to achieve this goal.
Some examples of documents that an editor or proofreader might help you with include:

I offer three options for business clients:
|
(1) Basic proofread This service is for you if you are happy with the content, format and wording of your material and want a final check for spelling, punctuation and grammar. Any glaring errors in sense, consistency or word choice will be picked up, but otherwise as few changes as possible will be made. The basic proofread costs £20 per hour, with a minimum charge of £50. |
(2) Full edit This service provides all the benefits of the proofread, but with the added depth of a copy-edit. I will scrutinise your word choice, sentence construction and document structure to make sure your copy is sharp, effective and ideal for purpose. The full edit starts at £25 per hour, with a minimum charge of £50. |
(3) Copy writing New to producing a particular type of document? Unable to dedicate the time or the resource that writing your report, brochure or customer communication deserves? Provide me with the raw materials and I will write, format and edit your document, including a final proofread. Copy writing starts at £30 per hour, with a minimum charge of £50. |
On an extremely tight deadline? My ‘rush’ rate (subject to availability) is the standard rate shown above plus 50% - i.e. £30 per hour for option 1, £37.50 per hour for option 2 and £45 per hour for option 3.
