PRICING AND RATES

Refined Articles: Proof-reading and copy-editing dealing with academic writing, journals, thesis, dissertation, using APA, Harvard and Chicago referencing.

Estimates and Quotes

A fixed quote can only be provided on a completed ready to edit/proof draft. If the draft is still in progress or you do not yet have a draft I can provide an estimate based on a word count (preferably with a small sample).

Rates

Rates are based on the word count of the document, the type of service to be provided, and the required turn-around time. Student rates are available.

Changes to the scope of work after I’ve started on the document may result in a change in price.  I’ll let you know if your requested changes will result in a price change and give you options for handling this.

Invoicing

For small projects, an invoice will be emailed on completion of work.

For some large or complex projects, a down payment may be requested in advance, or alternatively, the work will be returned to you in watermarked PDF format with the Word copy being sent when full payment is received.

Payment can be made via PayPal. Payment is requested within fourteen (14) days. PayPal transactions incur a 5% fee.

If invoice payment is late without consultation and agreement with Refined Articles, I reserve the right to engage the services of a debt collection agency. I will always give you fair warning before I engage their services and give you time to make your payment.
