Cost
For copywriting & SEO content writing
My copywriting day rate for eight hours of work is only £300. Compared to the UK average of £433, you save £133 (over 30%) every day.
Like most copywriters, I charge a per-project price rather than by the hour or the word. This is affected by things like:
-
The size of the project.
-
The word count.
-
Urgency.
-
Complexity.
-
How much research it needs.
​
I consider all quotes carefully, and always offer a fair price.
For proofreading & copyediting
How much I charge for proofreading and copyediting depends on the level of help you need.
Editing 1,000 words of simple, well-researched copy written in good English will be far easier - and far cheaper - than 1,000 words of technical copy that’s full of mistakes.
Before quoting for an editing project, I’ll ask to see a sample of the copy to advise you on what level of help is appropriate for you.
As a rule of thumb, my editing prices are as follows:
-
Proofreading - From £19 per 1,000 words.
-
Copyediting - From £28 per 1,000 words.
-
Substantive editing - From £40 per 1,000 words.
​
You can find out what each level includes by taking a look at my proofreading and copyediting service page.

These prices are based on the suggested minimum rates from the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading.
