Alternatively, send it to us. We'll calculate the amount and send you an email with a link to your invoice and payment options.

If you want to calculate it yourself, multiply the number of words times 0.01 for proofreading or times 0.02 for proofreading and editing.

After you have done several drafts, reviewing and revising, that familiarity results in your filling in missing text and skipping over errors when you read.
