Services offered:
Proofreading and copy-editing services might be provided, with specific attention paid to grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency. Changes can be tracked on the document, if required.

Pricing and payment:

Fees are according to volume of work or time spent, by agreement. Payment is to be made once the work is completed for small projects, and for larger tasks, part-payment might be sought during the project, by agreement. Please note: it is likely that some tasks will attract a part-payment at the start, to show good faith.
 

Turnaround time:
By agreement. Should the client request changes that extend the turnaround time, extra fees might be incurred.
