Work with me
I can’t promise you a bestseller, but I can make sure your work is up to the same high standard as one. Let your readers focus only on your subject, plot or characters – not flaws in your words.
To give you an accurate and budget-friendly quote, I’ll need the overall word count and a sample (or all) of your work.
When proofreading fiction, I can usually read between 3,000 and 5,000 words an hour but non-fiction and copyediting take longer.
My rates are based on the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading suggested minimum but start from £10 per 1,000 words for proofreading and £12 per 1,000 words for copyediting.
You’ll get my quote within a day of your request by emailing me at gina@ginarathbone.com or calling 07930 921014.
And when we work together, you’ll always be able to easily get hold of me throughout your project.
You have been incredible to work with. Without a doubt, I could not have done this without your expert guidance – you have guided me through the whole process so well. You constantly kept me updated, encouraged me, and made it very easy for me to amend what I had written with your suggestions. I wrote the words but you turned it into a book. Thank you.

I have no hesitation in recommending Gina. She was able to give me an accurate idea of what the proofread would involve, when she could carry the work out, and how long it would take. Everything was completed on schedule, the recommended changes were clearly indicated, and there were useful additional explanations when relevant. Gina answered all my queries promptly and in sufficient detail. The cost of the proofread was based on the word count and a sample chapter. It seemed reasonable. I was very happy with Gina’s work. I intend to use her as my main editor in future.
Desmond Dennis, author – Could this be Measles? A First General Practice Casebook
Gina has been working with us on a voluntary basis for three years now, proofreading our quarterly 'Mountain Rescue’ magazine.
​
Her professional and efficient approach, and her attention to detail took us to a new level which she has continued to maintain. She is always quick to respond, and work with me to turn things round within our admittedly tight deadlines.
​
As a very small design and production team of one, I have always espoused high production values and, thanks to Gina’s input, I am extra confident that we are producing a top-class publication that can stand proudly within the outdoor sports and emergency services sector.
