Services for individuals

Information on editing and review services for individuals are detailed below. Editing tasks of any size are very welcome and can be done at any stage of your project. For almost all writers, early edits or reviews can help identify problems and/or improve the organisation or flow of text.

Identifying any issues early can help writers more efficiently use their time to advance a project. We can complete proofreading and copyediting on manuscripts of any genre but are only able to provide full document review (structural edits) for non-fiction texts.

Copyediting/proofreading

  • Our proofreading and copyediting service is for mature documents and these edits can often significantly improve language use or highlight recurring issues with the text that may have arisen over the course of a lengthy writing period. You may seek this service before submitting your work to an agent or publisher.

    Style sheets

    This service includes production of a style sheet for your manuscript (if you do not already have one) that can help you manage editorial changes that might subsequently be suggested by publishers or agents. Note that copyediting or proof reading does not include suggestions for structural (organisational) changes to your work.

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

Full document review

  • This service includes both structural edits (suggestions to improve the organisation of your work) and copyediting. You may seek this service at any stage of your writing process and it can be particularly helpful when you are ‘stuck’ or have found yourself ‘too close’ to your own writing to make efficient progress.

  • 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.
