At London Proofreaders, we charge £14 per 1,000 words (£0.014 per word). We do not charge by the hour because we believe per-word pricing is simpler, more transparent, and easier for everyone.
For all documents with our standard turnaround time, we offer a straightforward flat-rate price based solely on the total word count. This means you will know the cost upfront, with no hourly billing or unexpected charges. (See standard return times in the table below)
Our proofreading prices are calculated at £0.014 per word, with clear turnaround times based on your document length.
