Proofreading rates in Ireland

Proofreading rates in 2025

What are the going rates for my proofreading services?

Prices start from €15 per 1,000 words and include both proofreading and (copy) editing.

You will find after a bit of googling that my rates are very competitive.

Competitors charge €20-40 per 1,000 words for the same level of service!

Why is my proofreading service so affordable?

The short answer: I do proofreading as a hobby, I don’t rely on it to make a living. I have the luxury of running a main business that sustains me financially. Proofreading is something I enjoy and I love helping students and authors polish their documents!

What does it include? My service includes both proofreading and editing.

I check for grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure and clarity.

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.
