How to request a quote for editing and manuscript assessment services?

The quickest and simplest way to request a quote is by filling in the online form.

We will need a sample of your work to provide a firm quote, so please send the sample to us via sales@broadedit.com.au, or (for large files) via SendThisFile, which is free, secure and fast.

Alternatively, you can post the sample to our address, but this will take time to receive the sample and provide you with a quote. The address is: Broad Editing and Services, PO Box 4394, Langwarrin VIC 3910, Australia.

Guidelines for sample of work to be quoted:

• Shorter pieces of up to 10,000 words – send us 3 to 5 pages
• Longer pieces over 10,000 words – send us 3 chapters.

Accepted formats

You can send your manuscript or other material sample for quoting to us as PDF or Word. However, work intended for editing or proofreading must be in Word.

Please contact us regarding any other file formats.

Changes to a quoted project 

It’s important to send us the project that was quoted without additional changes. If you work on and adjust your project after receiving the quote, then the project has changed and a requote may be required based on the changed project.

Book a job in

Once you have accepted our quote and you’re ready to proceed, the job will need to be booked in. We will provide an estimated completion date. Send us the required material prior to the commencement date, so work can begin on time; otherwise, it will delay the completion date.

To accurately book a job in, we require the following information:

• customer’s name, address (if needed for delivery reasons), email, and contact number(s)
• quote number
• total word count
• the type of service required (e.g. editing)
• description of submitted work (e.g. fictional short story aimed at teens)
• how completed work is to be delivered (e.g. email)
• payment method (e.g. PayPal)
• any additional information that you think might be beneficial.

Delivery guidelines

The completed project will be delivered according to your preferred option:

• electronic file via email
• electronic file saved on USB flash drive sent via standard post
• hard copy (printed material) via standard post.

Payments

We accept payments via PayPal, money orders, and (until they are phased out) cheques made out to Broad Editing and Services, or contact us for alternative payment options.

We require full payment before the project can be released. For large projects, part payment is required prior to starting the project.
