As a rough estimate, allow 250-300 words to the average page to compare with 'per page' prices quoted in that source.
Compare us with other editing websites: you'll find our editing rates are LOW (Some companies don't reveal their fees, of course - and for a good reason). We are professional editors and our work is first-rate. However, we are a small home-based family company with minimal overheads - hence our super-competitive low proofreading rates ... in short, cheap editing and cheap proofreading. Dearer is NOT necessarily better!

US and British clients should remember that the above fees are quoted in AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS. The conversion rate means that you pay far less in your own currency.
We are quite comfortable with both British English and US English. For US clients, we work to the Chicago Manual of Style, a standard in the industry.
Turnaround time
Editing is slow, painstaking work. Our workteam of two can only accept a limited number of documents each week.
This is a rough guide only:
- 1000 - 5000 words - allow 3 days
- 5500 - 10,000 words - allow 1 week
- 10,500 - 30,000 words - allow 2 weeks
- 30,500 - 50,000 words - allow 3 weeks
- 50,500 - 90,000 words - allow 4 weeks
- 90,000 plus ... by negotioation.
Is it possible our proofreading service will be faster? Of course! It's quite likely, but we want to set ourselves safe goals, so that we don't regularly disappoint clients
