Translation and writing rates
Due to the wide range of factors affecting the complexity of every project, all translation and writing services will be quoted individually upon request.
Turnaround times
Typical proofreading and copy-editing turnaround times are 3-4 weeks for a book-length manuscript, or about 20000 words / week. Line edits are roughly 40% slower. However, depending on the complexity of the project, my current workload, and other factors, the exact timing may vary for your project. Please request a quote to be sure.
If you have a specific deadline, you can always request rush service, and I will do my best to accommodate your needs, schedule permitting. Please be aware however that it is always better to allow more time for writing and editing, if at all possible; writing quickly is inherently at odds with writing at the highest possible quality.
Rush rates
Expedited services are offered subject to availability. Rush rates start at +30% and will be quoted individually for each request. Please make sure to include the project scope and the desired deadline when requesting expedited services.
