Jojo's Red Pen
The aim of Jojo's Red Pen is to provide editing assistance of varying degrees for a wide range of projects, including academic papers, reports, web content, books, and creative fiction. Please note that due to limited capacity from regular employment, health, and other commitments, I may not be able to take on especially large or urgent jobs; see the capacity indicator below for an up-to-date assessment.

Services
I have several editing service options available so that you can customise the level of detail I go into, depending on the type of project you have and the extent of work that is needed. You can choose one of the following packages, and then calculate a quote using the handy calculator at the bottom of the page.
Note that prices are all in $NZ.
