About you

First Name

Organisation or affiliation

What kind of document are you working on?

Total word count

What's your total word count to the nearest 1000 words? Break down the different components if you can. e.g. You might not expect me to edit your reference list (though it's still good to know how long it is).

Handover date

When do you plan to hand your project over to me? Usually there will be a wait of at least several weeks until I'm free, but if your project is short, I might be able to juggle things.

YYYY

Return date

When do you need the work returned to you? A usual turnaround is at least several weeks, but it all depends on your project and what else is booked in.

Do you have a style guide in mind?

In Australia we normally defer to the Australian Government Style Manual. Academic text is often in APA7 style.

If your project includes references, what style are you using?

Do you have a budget in mind?

Explore this website for useful details about service, rates and likely costs. Remember that more complexity and more words usually mean more time and thus cost. From 4c to 10c per word is a useful way to calculate a ballpark cost.

Notes

Tell me a bit more about your project or what you expect from me. If your project is urgent, let me know. If you have some flexibility with deadlines, that's useful too.
