Rates and Turnaround

We at Proofproper take pride in providing a high quality service and consequently, we reserve the right to refuse material should we feel that we cannot do it justice in the time allocated us. We appreciate that authors often have deadlines to meet, but equally, authors must appreciate that if we are to do our work well and to your satisfaction, we too need time. Therefore, it is in your interest that you plan well in advance.

Without seeing the text, it is often difficult to estimate how long it will take to proof-read a manuscript. Typically, we charge £10 per 1000 words of original text. For example, an article of 6000 words (20 pages of approximately 300 words) merely requiring straightforward corrections to grammar and punctuation, as well as minimal rewriting, will be returned within 7 days at a cost of £60. However, long pieces of work or material requiring extensive rewriting will inevitably cost more and take longer to complete. Your proof-reader will advise you, prior to commencement, if this is likely to be the case. A £5 minimum charge applies, regardless of text length.
