For our manuscript editing services, we charge according to the length of your document, not hourly. The advantage of this is that you are able to calculate a fixed price for your manuscript. Once we have received your document, we will give you a definite price according to the following formula: the word count multiplied by 1.649 pence equals the fixed price.

Even if heavy editing is required and we have to spend more time on your manuscript than we anticipated, we guarantee that the price will not increase. You can pay by transferring the money electronically into our HSBC bank account. We can also accept credit card payments through PayPal or Sage Pay.

PRS is VAT (Value Added Tax) registered, which means that we have to charge our customers VAT (currently 20 per cent) on top of the original price. VAT registration is not optional; we are obliged to register by UK law.

There are, however, two exemptions that will apply to many of our customers:

(1) Customers from outside the European Union (EU). If you provide us with your full address details, including your postcode, we do not have to charge you VAT.

(2) Customers from a non-UK business or institution that is VAT registered in any other EU country (this includes most universities). In this case, we need your institution’s VAT registration number and the full address details, including the postcode, of the institution to exempt you from VAT.
