The price is negotiable for longer pieces of work over 60,000 words such as a PhD thesis, so that the final price is lower than a price based purely on an hourly rate. For example for a book or thesis of 90,000 words, we could negotiate a fixed price of € 1500 instead of the price of € 1764 based on an hourly rate (36 hours).
* The words per hour rate is lower for shorter pieces of work due to fixed time costs associated with familiarisation with the work and the formatting needed, as well as administration time.
