What are your fees?

Each project is unique and requires a different level of coaching or editing. We will work with you to identify a fair budget for your project.

Do you provide discounts to students or junior faculty?

Yes! We have a sliding scale fee structure that discounts our services for emerging scholars.

What is your typical turnaround time?

Normal turn-around time is 2-4 business days on each draft. This typically translates to 8-10 business days per doc. We do not work on weekends or holidays.
