TIME FRAMES
The time frame for delivering work depends on the size and complexity of the project, and my concurrent workload. Please note, certain times of the year are unusually busy, particularly immediately before vacation periods, which may be particularly hectic, and this may slow turnaround times.
Editing services: 1 to 3 working days for each 5000 words of text is usual.
Translation, subtitling, large projects, and content-creation (including ghost writing) turn-around times vary considerably depending on the project, please contact me for a quote.
My rates include 1 hour of meeting time per 10,000 words (1 hour for texts of 5000 to 10,000 words); work on rewrites is not included.
I am always happy to do followup work, including further meetings and work on rewrites: these are rated at my standard hourly fee.
RATES
Editing services for most academic, technical, and other standard professional documents (e.g. articles, manuscripts, proposals, theses, dissertations) are usually rated by word-count; if the level of editing involved is very light or very heavy/intensive, it will be rated by the hour.
Marketing, advertising, website-text editing, formatting, fact-checking, and meetings are rated by the hour.
A minimum/base fee for 1000 words or one hour applies to all editing jobs. For documents of over 1000 words, the count is rounded to the nearest 100 words; for jobs that take over an hour, the hourly rate is rounded to the nearest quarter-hour.
Translation is rated by source-word count, to optimize transparency; a 500-word base-fee applies.
Content creation/copy writing and large projects (including ghost writing projects) vary considerably in their scope; please contact me for a quote for your specific project; the rate typically reflects a combination of the size of the project, and the word-count or hourly rate.
Rush job rates are based on the degree of time compression involved (e.g. a job to be returned in 25% less time than it would normally includes an added fee of 25% of the base cost).
English language instruction is usually scheduled in 10-lesson blocks. Each lesson hour includes 30/150 minutes of preparatory time (individual/group, respectively) and 60 minutes of contact time. Rescheduling policy: with an at least 24-hour warning, there is a 50% rescheduling fee, if no other arrangement has been made; with a less than 24-hour warning, the rescheduling fee will be the full lesson cost (except in cases of force majeure).
