There are clear distinctions between proofreading and copy editing, but most people tend to require a combination of both, also known as proof editing. As such, I mainly offer a proof editing service. Prices are based on a high level of English. If your level is lower, then the price will be a bit higher. Please send an example so I can quote a price.
Prices per 1000 words
Within 3 days €20
Within 7 days €15
An express/24 hour service is available at €60 per 1000 words, depending on my schedule and the total number of words.
I can, of course, do either a proofread or a copy edit of your text for about half price. See definitions below.
If you are not a fan of doing your references, or are short of time, then I can do them for you. Just give me enough information to find the source and I can use Zotero to complete your references according to whichever style you need.
Price per reference: €0.5
I can make sure your manuscript conforms to a specific journal template. However, if you later decide to try a different journal/template, then I can reformat your manuscript, and switch reference style at an hourly rate.
Price per hour: €20
