we guarantee your satisfaction!
Prices below are in New Zealand dollars and exclude GST. They'll give you an idea of how much the editing will cost. Decide the level of editing you want and I'll calculate a price based on the rates below. Or just discuss it — I'll work out what you need, without obligation, and we can discuss it. It's easy enough—call me.
I'll always confirm delivery to you before I start work, but you should normally allow three working days for editing an average job. I ask you to pay before I send the work back (I hope you understand).
For academic writing, your price is based on the Proofread level only (no higher) and your first order earns a 20% DISCOUNT – but see also Foreign Students, below.
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the
key to success.
-Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, physician, musician, Nobel laureate (1875-1965)
