Veronica Kruger Consulting

Pricing	My rates are competitive and in line with industry standards. As a guide, for proofreading and light copyediting, allow £25.00 p.h. / 10 MS pages / 2,500 words. I charge a minimum rate of £50.00. But, of course, each job is different! Your brief will be the basis of my quote so the more information you can give me, the better.

	A good checklist should include:
	•	From the description of my services, which one best suits your needs?
	•	A brief overall description of the project (e.g. proofreading a novel, reviewing an existing website.)
	•	For any text-heavy project, its length / number of words
	•	Is it a one-off or part of a series, such as blog posts?
	•	Will it require background research and fact-checking?
	•	Are you a non-native English writer and would like the text to be presented in colloquial or business English?
	•	Your deadline

	Depending on the job specification I shall quote you either a fixed price or an hourly rate, together with the payment schedule. I generally ask for a deposit of £100.00 on any job worth £500.00 or more but this depends on what the job entails. All prices are quoted in sterling, and payments can be made via PayPal, by bank transfer, by cheque.


	...And How I Work	I am happy to work either on- or off-line. You simply email me your project in Word, as a PDF or post it to me as a manuscript, if you prefer (in which case please ensure it is typed with double spacing). I can either email the corrected and amended file back to you, or use a Cloud-based programme such as Google Docs. Or, indeed, post the MS back on completion. Most importantly for you to know is that I never accept any assignment that I cannot complete. My reputation is my most valuable asset, and your good opinion of the work I do for you is the cornerstone of my reputation. I always aim to ensure that each client is absolutely satisfied with the end result; that I have truly provided an added value to the project.
