My Services
Copyediting, proofreading, and review
These services are for more polished drafts. I can:
- proofread the draft, correcting spelling, grammatical and formatting errors
- suggest language edits to improve the style and make the draft clearer
- review the draft and leave feedback on the content: does the argument make sense? Will your non-expert readers understand? Are there any obvious objections you haven’t addressed? What might make the draft more engaging?
Prices
- basic proofreading: £0.01 per word
- copyediting and review: £0.02-£0.04 per word. The price depends on how intensive the edits are and how complex the subject matter is. This also includes proofreading.
£50 is the minimum price for any of these services (regardless of word count).
£0.01-£0.04/word
Substantive editing
I will substantively rewrite a rough draft, preserving your meaning but rephrasing and restructuring the piece to make it clearer and more engaging.
£0.06/word
Quick review
I spend up to an hour correcting obvious errors, suggesting priority edits, and giving my overall impressions on the content. Appropriate if you just want someone to take a quick look.

Writing coaching
I offer writing and editing guidance over calls.
I’ve thought a lot about what makes writing good. I can help you with everything from the nuts and bolts of sentence structure, to writer’s block, to the best way to convey your arguments.

Other services
Clients have hired me to do things that are related to writing and editing but don’t fall into the categories above: for example, developing resources, desk research, and conceptual research collaboration. If you’re interested in hiring me for something like this, get in touch and I’ll propose a bespoke price.
