Rates

Rates for essays, assignments and reports are based on the length or total word count in your document. Payment is required before work is undertaken and work will not commence until payment has been received by Edit-Express.

To calculate the length of your MS Word document, see Tools → Word Count → Words. (This will include all footers, endnotes, references and title pages. This is often where most mistakes are made as they are often not checked closely.)
