As an Australian what style guide and dictionary do you use?

I use the Merriam-Webster Dictionary (online edition) for US formatted manuscripts or the Collins Dictionary (online edition) for those in a UK style.

How do you determine the cost of your quote?

Editorial Services

Once I have the opportunity to look at your manuscript, it allows me to assess the level of revisions that your project should require. This number, combined with your manuscript’s total length, will determine the amount of time spent polishing your document and the overall cost. These services are charged on a per word basis, and priced by market forces within Australia.

PA Services

Ongoing PA services are charged at a per hour rate, based upon the tasks required.

One-off PA services are charged on a per task basis.

How do you accept payment?

PayPal, and bank transfer on negotiation

How does billing work?

Editorial Services

After a successful sample edit and upon accepting the terms of my contract, I require a 10% deposit. This ensures that your preferred dates are held.

I will invoice an additional 45% midway through the project and the final invoice of 45% when the final edit is complete.

I am happy to discuss payment plans prior to late payment.
