Perhaps you would prefer a quote.
If so, you need to send Elsie your entire copy for appraisal. After evaluation, Elsie will give you a fixed price for the work. In addition, Elsie will include a two-page sample of the corrected copy with your quote, so you can take advantage of the benefits listed above.
Please note that the quote remains valid only as long as you make no changes or additions to the original agreement.
Make a Payment
Payment is due within seven (7) days and Elsie accepts payments made in cash, by cheque, or through online banking and PayPal.
Elsie has a flexible approach to pricing.
A fee based on an hourly rate, per word or a flat fee for the work. It may be difficult to decide which would be the best option for your needs. That’s why–
Elsie adapts her rates to fit each project.
The enquiry form on the ‘Contacts’ page allows for you to request the type of service that you regard as appropriate for your piece of writing. However, on checking your text, Elsie may consider you need additional services to meet her standard of high quality. If you have already budgeted for the work based on an assumption of cost, what do you do? That’s why–
Elsie costs each project according to its requirements.
The number of changes to be made, the timeframe for effecting the changes, and the services needed to ensure your writing achieves its purpose all contribute to the charge-out rate. Elsie’s services vary in complexity and this is reflected in a range of rates calculated to accommodate the different skills. That's why--
Elsie prefers to assess your writing before putting a price on it.
Elsie customises services to meet your individual needs.
