Working With Us/Pricing

Please use any of the contact forms to send an instant email to us – and expect a same-day response. There is rarely a need to meet clients in person and most of our communication is done by email.

Obligation-free quotations are offered free of charge to all clients. If you are undecided about which level of editing service to choose, free sample edits on a section of your text can be done.

Please follow this three-step process once we have replied to your initial contact-form message:

  1. Supply us with a sample of your work by email (MS Word format).
  2. Specify the deadline.
  3. List your specific requirements or the type of service required.

Once we receive the required information, we will email you a quotation within 24 hours. Once you have agreed to the quote and have paid a 50% deposit upfront by EFT work will commence. Cash deposits attract an additional charge of R7 plus 2% of the invoice amount (minimum charge = R50). If there are queries during the editing or writing process, we will contact you.

All our editing is done with MS Word track changes turned on, and queries and suggestions for improvement are made in track changes with the Substantive Editing option.
