Conditions and costs

What does it cost?

A good text or translation is invaluable. How much time it takes to write, translate or correct a text doesn't just depend on the length, there are other aspects to take into consideration. For example, how much research is needed, where will you use the text and what else needs to be done? Writing a text takes more time than translating, while editing and correcting take less time.

Every text and every client is unique, and that's why you won't find a list of standard rates here. For each assignment, I estimate the number of hours I will need to provide the service you want. Then I’ll discuss this with you so we can agree the scope and project fee. I’m a member of ZZP Nederland, an organisation for independent professionals in the Netherlands, and I always work with a written agreement for each assignment, so we both know where we stand.
