To determine the total cost of your job, please enter the number of words and your desired turnaround date in the following boxes, then press "Calculate" (the turnaround date must be one of those listed above):

1. A processing fee of NZ$ 20 is added to each editing job.

2. Documents are returned no later than 0700 hours (Universal Time) on the day indicated.

3. The turnarounds for larger jobs may be longer than those indicated, especially for very short turnarounds.

4. If you have sent us more than NZ$ 1000 worth of jobs within the previous 6 months (including the present job), you will receive a volume discount.

5. Because we do not employ freelancers, our charges vary with our workload and editor availability.

6. We update our turnarounds regularly between 2000 and 0900 hours (Universal Time; weekdays and weekends), but on rare occasions the actual turnaround date will differ from that shown (e.g., when we receive a large amount of work overnight or within a short space of time). We will confirm the guaranteed turnaround date and cost when we send you the quotation after we have received your document.

7. It might be possible for us to offer a turnaround that is significantly faster than the shortest turnaround advertised above, depending on the length of your job and our circumstances when we receive your email message. This service, which is only available to existing (i.e., not new) clients, works as follows:

   • Please first check our current email reply time as indicated in the orange panel on the left of this page, which will give you an indication of the likely earliest time at which we will be able to reply to your request. The available turnaround might be as short as 1 hour per 500 words beyond this time (e.g., 2 hours for a job of 1000 words).

   • Please state clearly in your message the turnaround you would like (or simply state "the fastest possible"), and (1) whether you would like to receive a quotation before confirming that the cost is acceptable to you or (2) that you accept the higher cost. Note that in case 2 we will be able to offer you the fastest service, since we will not need to wait to receive your confirmation before commencing work on your job.

   • Please note that this very-rapid-turnaround service will cost more than our fastest advertised service by an amount dependent on how short the turnaround is, but it will not exceed NZ$ 49 per 270 words (plus the NZ$ 20 processing fee).
