What is Sheila’s pricing policy?

For the core editing and writing part of this business, the base rate professional fees for Cameron Can Copy Edit are in line with those advised by the Society for Editors and Proofreaders. Loadings apply to large corporate clients. Sheila discounts her fees for some not-for-profit organisations, hardship cases and registered charities. Loadings and discounts are disclosed at the time of contracting. On-site meetings may attract a fee.

A detailed quotation, including charges and taxes, is given to the client prior to work commencing. Assignments normally proceed in line with the quote and the job specifications. Thus, the final invoice is transparent and complete.

Invoices, with 30 day terms, are supplied to the client on delivery of the finished task. A log of hours is kept. Experience shows that many people wish to see a breakdown of the fees for their completed work. They are thereby able to identify and monitor the sources of their major costs.
