The cost of Reads Well’s Proofreading, Basic Editing & Close Content Editing services is based on the number of words in the document. Typing & Word Processing fees depend on the nature of the original materials. A 20% deposit is required before work begins.
Note Taking, Project Mentoring, Personal Statement Development, Practice Exam Review AND ALL OTHER CUSTOMISED SERVICES are charged by the hour (two hour minimum; 15-minute increments thereafter). The only way for us to determine how many hours your project requires — and how much that support is likely to cost you – is by talking with you, preferably in person, alternatively by phone. CONTACT us to schedule an initial consultation, at NO COST and with NO OBLIGATION, to discuss your support needs and receive a FREE ESTIMATE. No deposit is required for these services.
