Pricing Details & Terms:

ü  Half is due at the start of the project. Balance is due when I email confirming completion. Final document will be sent after final payment is received.
ü  All payments are via PayPal.

Completion Time:
ü  When I receive your initial email, I will inform you of number of projects ahead of yours and approximate start date on your project.

Pricing:
Many proofreaders charge up to $2.75/page. My introductory offer is for $1 a page. (I wish to gain testimonials in the areas I have added. Additionally, I wish to include online business testimonials, not just local and word of mouth. It’s time to expand.)


Please check back often as price is subject to change. If you are already on my list, your pricing does not change.

Please bear with me as I get these put together. I am in the process of contacting former and current clients to get their statements. Over the years, I hadn't considered doing business online.
