Information on training and writing coach services, and how these can be used in government settings, is available here.

Copy-editing/proof reading

  • Our proofreading and copyediting service is for mature documents. For example, you might need your work checked and corrected for grammatical errors prior to submission to clients, other agencies, or prior to publication. This service does not include suggestions for structural (organisational) changes to your work.

    Plain language is a key component of effective communication and a detailed copyedit can significantly improve language use in mature documents.

  • Prices for proofreading and copyediting are generally per hour at rates of $60-$100 depending on the nature of the documents. Contact us for more details.

Structural editing

  • Structural editing is the process of assessing your written work and making suggestions that relate to the organisation of the text. Suggested changes generally result in reordering of your text and/or suggestions to remove sections or add new sections. You may choose this service if you are ‘stuck’ with a document and are not sure how to organise your work to best communicate your message.

    A structural edit at an early-intermediate stage of writing can be very helpful for writers at all levels. Note that structural editing does not generally also include full proof-reading or copy-editing

  • Structural editing may require assessment or research into the content of your document. Pricing is generally in the range $80-$100 per hour. Please use our contact page to obtain more details.

Full document edit

  • This service includes both structural edits and copyediting.

  • Full document edits are charged at $80-$120 per hour depending on the complexity and/or technical detail of the documents. Please use our contact page to get in touch.
