Your Inquiry
Please send me an email with your inquiry and submit your text to: info@lektorat-johnson.de
Communication
In an initial short conversation (free of charge), we discuss expectations and answer open questions about the editing process. If preferred, communication via email is possible.
Trial Edit
A trial edit helps you to get to know my way of working. I edit your text and stop the clock after exactly one hour. Afterwards we discuss my feedback for your text.
Offer
Alongside the trial edit feedback, you will receive my offer for editing the entire text. You decide if you accept the offer and inform me accordingly.
If you book my services for your entire text, I will include the fee of the trial edit in the overall offer.
Payment
Once I receive your payment (or a receipt of payment) I begin the editing work. Installment payments can be negotiated for large projects only.
Editing
At the agreed upon due date you receive the edited text from me. In a final conversation we discuss my feedback for your text.
Prices
In order to determine the exact price for your text project, I need to first take a look at the text to be edited. Sending your text document along with your initial inquiry greatly reduces your wait time for an official offer.

Sample Calculation
Divide the total number of strokes (incl. white space) by 1,650 (the number of strokes in one standard page).
Example:

Your text constists of 421,500 strokes (incl. white space). This equals 250 standard pages.
