FAQ

All changes are made and comments added using ‘track changes’ – therefore everything done to the document is clearly visible to the client upon its return.

A typical document (2,000 – 10,000 words) can be returned fully edited/proofread within 2-4 days. Quicker turnarounds are also possible upon request.

As we place a strong emphasis on building trust with clients, payment is made after the job is completed. At that point, clients are issued an e-invoice for secure online payment, or a traditional invoice for bank transfer.
