What to tell me

To estimate accurately the time and effort required to fulfil your project’s needs, I first need to know eight things:

• Service: do you need a copyeditor, proofreader, digital tester or project manager?
• Subject: what is the specific focus of your content – is it English, mathematics, history or something else?
• Level: who are the intended readers or users of your content – do you have a specific age group or exam specification in mind?
• Length: what is your best estimate of the total word count or page count?
• Illustrations: roughly how many artworks and how many photos will be included?
• Start: do you need me to start immediately, or do you have a scheduled start date?
• Completion: when do you need me to deliver by?
• Fee: do you have a fee or budget in mind, or would you prefer a quote?

If you are unsure about any of these points, do not worry. I am happy to advise you based on my experience and training. And you are welcome to add any other information you think I should know.

What happens next

1. I will review your message and reply to you within three working days. Unless I need to ask you questions to clarify your requirements, I will either:
   1. give you a quote
   2. say yes or no to your fee offer.
2. If you would like to discuss anything over the phone or on a video call, I will arrange that with you.
3. I offer to provide a finished sample of 500 words or less, free of charge, so you can see my standard of work. I can produce a larger sample for a fee.
4. Before I start working for you, I will ask you for both:
   1. a purchase order (confirming your payment terms)
   2. a written brief (outlining your requirements).
5. I start working and I keep you informed of my progress.
