COSTS OF EDITING

A quality edit is a labour-intensive, and therefore expensive, task, but with that in mind, we will make every effort to give you an excellent service at a reasonable rate.

Your first thousand words are free, as we have said. No strings.

If you decide to go ahead with Perdisma Edits, we will give you a firm, detailed and final quote based on the amount of work we think will be needed.

No surprises.

  • Other international clients by arrangement.
  • We will of course deduct the initial 1,000 words from the final word count.
  • If you are happy with our quote, we will ask for 25% in advance. The balance is due on completion.
  • Payment can be made by bank transfer – details will be given on the invoice – or our international clients may prefer to pay by PayPal.
