These are rates for written projects that are generally below 1,000 words, unless specified otherwise.

Please note that these may vary, depending on the following:

  • Length
  • Complexity of content
  • Information
  • Research effort

Startup Rates

Rates for all the above may go up to 50% lower than corporate rates because I understand the financial difficulties lean startups and small businesses face.

If you need that extra marketing/publicity boost, but do not have the financial means to support a full-time staff, you can always consider outsourcing it to me as these are my core competencies.

To be considered eligible for the rate above, you must fulfill the following:

  • Be a startup under 12 months, OR
  • In the midst of being registered
  • NOT be a corporate startup or financially backed by a parent company
  • Be registered with the SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia)
  • Have NOT acquired any seed or series funding over RM 500,000
  • Be majority owned by a Malaysian and registered in Malaysia

Academia Rates

Rates for students and academics are significantly lower from corporate rates as I am doing this as a service for the local academic community.

I have edited and proofread theses, dissertations and assignments up to PhD level.

I am rather versatile with regards to academic fields, but I do not accept engineering or highly technical and specialised fields (but you can still send me samples nonetheless).

However, I only provide proofreading and editing services for academic requests for obvious reasons.

Paying others to write or complete your assignment, journal or papers is highly unethical and I will not entertain any requests for such services.

Academic Fields

  • Law
  • IT (Bachelors & below only)
  • Business
  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Marketing

Rates for the All-In Editing +  Proofreading Package:

  • RM 55-80 for every block of 1,000 words
  • RM 0.06 – RM 0.10 per word for every word over 1,000 words or part thereof

IMPORTANT NOTE:

  • The above rates and turnaround time are for normal quotations (i.e. normal complexity & subject content).
  • All agreed rates and turnover times are subject to the terms stipulated under the service agreement contract.
  • All days stated below refer to working days (i.e. Monday – Friday not including Public Holidays.)
  • But I may get it done faster if you feed me awesome cookies. (May.) 
  • Unfortunately, I cannot accept cookies or other baked/cooked foods, no matter how delicious, as payment.
  • Cookies do not pay the bills (and neither does “exposure”).
