How It Works... Fees

Are very simple.

1. We’re happy to receive your manuscript by email – in fact we prefer it, which is why we don’t charge for printing. Of course, we’re equally happy to receive your manuscript by post.
2. We charge a flat fee regardless of the length of your manuscript. Yes, if you send us something genuinely Tolstoyan in length, we might contact you and suggest a revised fee, but we think it is the report and the analysis that count. Additional reading time is not a major issue for us.
3. As soon as we receive your manuscript, we will contact you to suggest the name of your tutor (unless you have already specified) and the date you will receive your report. Only if you are then entirely happy will we ask for the agreed fee and go to work.
