Fees and payment

My fees for basic proofreading start at A$30 per 1000 words. I have a minimum fee of A$50 for very small jobs (Currency converter here).

For substantive or copy editing my fees are higher than for proofreading and vary depending on the complexity of the work. If your document includes a large number of complicated diagrams or large tables, or the text requires a lot of work, the rate will be higher.

I am always happy to appraise your document and provide a quote before starting work.

Methods of payment

For my Australian clients I prefer payment in Australian dollars by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). If you have EFT capability I will provide you with my bank details so you can arrange payment on receipt of my invoice.

For international clients who use PayPal for online shopping, I can accept payment in US dollars, euros, or Japanese yen via PayPal Australia. If you are not a PayPal user, and don't wish to open a PayPal account (it's simple, secure and useful to have), you can pay me by International Money Transfer.

If you wish to pay by cheque, or in a currency other than those I have listed above, please tell me when you request your quote so we can make other arrangements.
