Express service:
For those in a hurry I have a dedicated “express” service but this will be more expensive than the prices listed above.
I can do up to 20,000 words in one day in emergency situations. This is normally about double the standard rate.
Note: this will cost a higher rate than a standard return time. Please contact me to discuss your needs.
These rates are approximations. It depends on the document length and the time frame, these are crucial influencing factors.
