ESTIMATES AND QUOTES
We provide estimates and quotes on all work, if a sample of the document is provided. An estimate is the approximate amount of time we believe it will take to complete the services required, based on word count and including one complete edit and/or proofread, depending on your requirements. Once we have started editing, if we believe the price will exceed the estimate by more than 25%, we will let you know in advance. If additional requests are made after we have started editing, the price will change accordingly.
Fixed quotes are only available on submission of a document that is no longer being amended and is ready for us to edit or proofread it. Estimates can be upgraded to a quote on receipt of the final version of the document.
