Fees: Editing of English
First editing---£3.57 per 100 words
Quality control
---£1.37 per 100 words
Quality control is not applied in every case. We find that some papers are fairly well-written and in that circumstance, first editing is sufficient and we do not charge for quality control. Quality control is essential for papers for which first editing is difficult.
Our fees include substantive editing, should that be required. We do sometimes add a surcharge for heavy editing (at £36 per hour), but only if your document is very difficult indeed to edit.
Fees: Assessing Logic and the Flow of Argument
We have one rate for assessing logic and the flow of argument: £90.00 per hour. Clients should specify what parts of a document are to be assessed at the time of submission.
Fees: Administration
There is a standard administration fee per paper of GBP15.
This fee covers the cost of choosing, contacting, and sending your paper out to an editor, communicating with authors when necessary, keeping records associated with your paper, creating and sending out invoices and receipts, and processing payments. We do not make any profit from this fee. We charge it separately because we want it to be the same for each paper, whereas if we included it in the fees for editing, authors who send short papers would pay little whereas authors who send long papers would pay a lot, but the amount of administration needed is about the same for each paper.
As a rule of thumb, multiply the figures above by 1.5 to obtain an approximate rate in US Dollars
