In a Nutshell...
Give me a sample of
your work, tell me what you want done, and I'll give you a price.

The Whole Nine Yards...
Rates:
Since there
is such a huge range of qualities, types, and sizes of incoming documents, and
such a wide range of proofreading, copyediting and editing services
we provide, we choose to price by the job, rather than by the page
or by the word. You are
therefore assured of never paying for more than your share of work,
and are never shortchanged in quality. Why should you pay us, say, $5
to edit a page with virtually nothing on it? Or why should we agree to
accept only $.50 to fix a page that needs a complete rewrite or
extensive source verification? By charging by the job, we can always
give you fair and accurate results. (But if you really want a
per/page price, we'll furnish that for you too.)
Proof-It
provides superior proofreading and editing quality, and fast turnaround
based on a rate of $30
per hour. Rush projects—fewer than two
business days turn-around when other work must be sidelined—are $40 per hour. We work quickly and accurately, so
you can be assured of good value.
Free
trial
and Quotations:
Send us several
typical pages of your project as an email attachment. If it looks
like we can help, we'll proof many or all of those pages for free.
Then, based on how long it took us to do your sample, and the size
of the whole project, we'll be able to quote exactly what we'd
charge to do the complete job, and you'll be able to see exactly
what we'll be able to do for you. No surprises for you or for
us.
Non-profit
organizations:
We are pleased
to offer many non-profit groups a significantly reduced rate.
Billing:
We will work on
any size project, but there
is a minimum charge of $20 per billing. An e-invoice in .pdf form will be sent after
the work is completed. We request payment by check or
money order in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank. We also reserve the
right to request a good-faith up-front deposit from new customers
and on larger projects.
Contact
us:
When you're ready, just send your document
or sample as an attachment to an e-mail.
Please be sure to include your name, company name, billing address, and
detailed information about what you would like us to do.
Our
Guarantee:
Simple: If our work isn't up to your standards, and that of our
original free trial—or higher—and we can't correct it to your
satisfaction, it's free.

Proof-It proof it first!
