Proofreading and Indexing Prices
Proofreading/Changing Citation Style

By the Word: Light Proofreading. Pricing by the word enables the client to know exactly in advance how much a project will cost. West Cork College can determine the word counts of your files, including but not limited to the following extensions:
-
PDF RTF
-
DOC TXT
-
PPT HTM
-
XLS WPD
-
ZIP And all common file formats
NOTE: All jobs have a €50 minimum fee; credit card payments include a nominal merchant fee.
-
By The Page: Light Proofreading. Pricing by the page is done when the document uses double-spaced, 12-point fonts and word counts on all pages do not exceed 500. Documents that are not in this format will be priced separately.
NOTE: All jobs have a €50 minimum fee; credit card payments include a nominal merchant fee.
-
By the Project: Light Proofreading. For those clients with a fixed budget and an estimable project, we can quote by the job. This way no one needs to count pages, words, or keep track of time.
Indexing
West Cork College needs to see the proofs, or at least a few specimen pages, in order to make a fair assessment of what is involved. Price depends on:
-
subject, length and format of book
-
readership aimed at, to allow the indexer to assess the level of specialty required
-
pages/number of lines allowed for index
-
time available to produce the index.
Indexing Guideline Prices based on straightforward text (as above in proofreading rates)
