At PSM Author Services, we calculate the quote by word count of the paper. This means that you are not invoiced for the time that is not spent in the most efficient way. It is the most common method of billing for editing and proofreading services. The majority of experienced editors and proofreaders charge per word and turnaround time. Pricing based on word count is perfectly synchronized with turnaround time. In general, the cost per word depends on the services provided and the turnaround time.
Pricing based on the types of service is also very common in the proofreading and editing industry. Many people have a misconception that proofreading and editing are the same services. Well, both services are interlinked but not similar. Generally, a proofreader checks all the usage of grammar, wrong spelling, incorrect punctuation, and other general things. On another side of the coin, editors rectify core writing issues such as sentence construction, readability, and academic tone. Naturally, editing charges are higher than just proofreading.
At PSM Author Services, we have kept our pricing policy very simple and straightforward. Our pricing policy relies on the following three basic parameters: number of words, turnaround time, and type of service. Please consider the following pricing options ↗.
