Inquiry and order processing

 

If you would like to make a direct inquiry to proofreading.de for proofreading, copy editing or translation work, you can use our email address info@proofreading.comde. Please do not forget that we need a representative sample of the text to be worked on, and a clear indication of the size of the text (number of words or keystrokes including spaces), before we can calculate the cost of your project. The best way to submit all the important information required completely is by using our automated Inquiry form.

On the basis of the specific text, or text sample, that you send us, we would be happy to prepare a cost proposal free of charge and without any obligation, which we will email to you. To place your order you can then countersign our offer and send it back to us. A binding reservation of the translator or proofreader capacity you require can only be made upon submission of your binding order.

Proofreading, copy editing, and translation is calculated by the hour. The number of hours required depends on:

  • The amount of text (number of words or keystrokes including spaces)
  • The complexity of the text (general, academic, technical, etc.)
  • The quality of the text (number of changes necessary).

We process texts in the following formats:

  • Microsoft Word (changes are made with tracking)
  • PDF files (comments with Adobe Acrobat)
  • PowerPoint (writing over the file, with changes marked in colour if necessary)
  • Excel (writing over the file or corrections in an additionally inserted column)
  • Corrections on printout on request (additional costs for the printout and postage!)
