Estimates

Estimate your price by determining your level of service (Services) and then see our How to Estimate Your Cost page. On receipt of your order, American Proofreading will confirm your estimate with an emailed Order Acceptance message or email you with the newly calculated cost and the reason for the change.

If American Proofreadingreturns to you a confirmation message with a longer turn-around time than acceptable, or a price that varies by more than 20% from your estimate, you may cancel an order within 24 hours of American Proofreading sending its confirmation. Orders so cancelled will receive a full and complete refund.

 

Payment

American Proofreading accepts payment in US Dollars via credit card (Visa/MasterCard), check, money order, certified check or international money order. 

Credit card payments are accepted through PayPal, a secured server. Checks or money orders are accepted by mail and should be made out to American Proofreading

We request that you include a deposit of 50% of the total estimated fee when you submit your document. (To see how to calculate our fee, visit our How to Estimate Your Cost page.) We will respond to you with an Order Acceptance message confirming type of service, total word count, completion date, total fee, receipt of 50% of fee and balance due on completion.

Work on your manuscript begins when we have received a deposit equal to half of the total fee and our Order Acceptance has been sent.

Personal checks must await bank clearing before the finished work is returned to the client.

First-time customers - we request prepayment of one-half of the estimated fee, with the balance due upon completion of our work. If your project is divided into clearly distinct parts (e.g., chapters or issues), you can usually pay part-by-part, as each is completed.

Established customers and businesses - we can invoice you upon completion of your project or each distinct part of your project. Payment is due within 5 days of receipt of invoice.

Reduced Rate for Up Front Payment - To encourage full payments upfront American Proofreading offers a 5% price discount on all payments made in full with submission of your document.
