  • Fees for documents and manuscripts are based on your word count, which means that we both know how much your project will cost from the outset and you won’t get any unpleasant surprises when you receive my final invoice.

    My graduated fee structure is based on a progressive pricing model – the principle behind this is the economies of scale: longer projects tend to require less time per word when compared to shorter projects, so I can pass this efficiency saving on to you.

    To get an accurate quote, let me know the total number of words in your document when you make your initial enquiry.

    Please note that a minimum fee of £75 will apply for all documents.


    Fee Structure

    Minimum fee = £75

    Then:

    • The first 2,500 words = £30 per 1,000 words

    • The next 5,000 words = £25 per 1,000 words

    • The next 10,000 words = £20 per 1,000 words

    • The next 20,000 words = £15 per 1,000 words

    • The next 40,000 words = £10 per 1,000 words

    • The next 80,000 words = £7.50 per 1,000 words

    • The next 80,001+ words = £5.00 per 1,000 words


    Example fees:

    → 2,000 words = £75 (minimum fee applies)

    → 10,000 words = £250

    → 50,000 words = £825

    → 100,000 words = £1,268.75
