I work at a pace of about four pages per hour, so your document would take about 2.5 hours for me to complete.For documents requiring more extensive work such as those with a large amount of fact checking to do (lots of URLs, intra-document references, tables of data to tabulate) or if there are major problems with the writing (if English isn't the writer's native language, perhaps), it may take a bit more time to complete. Payment:We currently accept only PayPal for easy, secure payments.All prices are in U.S. dollars. We are now offering a 5% discount for any first-time customers!
