Frequently asked questions

Who is The Word Room for?

TWR caters for private, corporate and academic clients across the world, provided the text is in English or Afrikaans. ESL (English second language) texts are welcome and my output can be in the English of your choice (UK, USA, CAN or AUS).

 

How much will it cost?

Each document or project is priced individually depending on the length of the text and the amount of proofreading, editing and/or formatting required. Editing and proofreading are charged per word and formatting per page. TWR will give you a detailed quote before any work is started.

 

How long will it take?

The turn-around time depends on the condition of the original text and my current schedule. I will give you a realistic indication about it when I give you a quote.

 

How does it work?

You send your documents to me (by email or web exchange) and I work on them with MS Word’s track changes function or by inserting notes and comments (e.g. PowerPoint and PDFs). You will receive the marked-up version so that you can see my suggestions and explanations.

 

What languages can TWR accommodate?

I work in the most common MS Word forms of English (UK, USA, AUS, and CAN) and Afrikaans.

 

What document formats does TWR support?

MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher and PDF.
