How much does it cost?
Proofreading
For when the words are right, but you need them checked.
A meticulous final check that catches spelling, grammar, punctuation, consistency and typographical errors before publication.
Fee: £40 per hour
Light to medium copy-edit
For when the content is sound but the writing needs sharpening.
Your content is mostly there, but it's wordy, inconsistent or harder to follow than it should be. I'll refine the language, improve readability and remove unnecessary words, repetition and awkward phrasing – making your message clearer, more concise and more engaging while retaining your meaning and voice.
Fee: £250–£300 per day
Substantive copy-edit
For when your content needs stronger thinking, structure and writing.
A deeper editorial review that looks at the bigger picture – structure, flow, clarity, messaging and audience. I may reorganise content, strengthen the logic of an argument, identify gaps or repetition, and reshape sections where needed to make your communication more effective.
Fee: £300 per day
Do you offer a fixed fee?
Yes! I’ll assess your content, agree the scope of work with you and provide a fixed fee before we begin.
You’ll know what you’re paying for and what to expect, making it easier to plan, secure budget approval and move forward with confidence.
Reassuring and comforting. A bit like this hot beverage.
