Instalments

Clients using our proofreading and copyediting services may pay in instalments. If the document is more than 5,000 words the client may pay us by chapter or section. The length of each chapter or section (assuming this is known) will be specified in the service agreement. Each chapter or section will be paid for in advance, after which the client may terminate the agreement rather than paying for the next chapter or section. If the document is less than 5,000 words, the client will be required to pay 50% of the total fee before the agreed service starts, and the remaining 50% after half of the document has been proofread and/or copyedited and the client has approved continuation of the work. Clients can thus terminate the service agreement at the half way point in the proofreading and /or copyediting of documents under 5,000 words, and at various points in the proofreading and/or copyediting of longer documents.

By paying in instalments, clients can be assisted at different stages in the writing process, and they can ensure that the proofreading/copyediting consistently meets their requirements.
