We offer two types of services depending on the English proficiency of the original text:
| Regular level: | This service involves a thorough proofreading of your document and check for spelling, punctuation capitalization, word choice and grammatical errors. In addition, it also includes editing at sentence/paragraph structure of the text in order to make sure that it is clear, consistent and readable. |
| Advanced level: | This service provides further professional editing and re-writing of your text to make it a linguistically fluent and structurally coherent piece of professional text.
For each editing job, we need to first evaluate the English level of your text and the expected purpose of the edited version in order to assess which service the text requires. We will then give you a quotation. In case of a lengthy manuscript, a few paragraphs of an edited sample based on your text will be provided with our quotation. The finished outcome will be a version that includes ‘Track Changes” (which includes our changes made to your document) and we will also provide you with a clean copy.
We guarantee to return your corrected document (up to 10,000 words) in 24 hours. Longer and more complicated documents can take up to one week and we will let you know exactly the time we need to correct it and return it to you. After your file is returned, we are always glad to make any additional changes and answer any questions you may have about your writing at no extra charge. |
Our fees are very competitive and they include student discounts.
For regular service (up to 250 words per page):
Regular fee: HK$ 30/per page (USD$4/page)
Student fee: HK$ 24/per page (USD$3/page)
Fees for the advanced level service will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
