Professional editing for important documents
Clear, careful editing for academic and professional writing
ClearCopy Clinic helps students, researchers and professionals improve dissertations, theses, essays, reports and other important documents — with careful editing, clear pricing and reliable communication.
Details first. You do not need to send the full document at the start.
You stay in control. Edits are visible, reviewable and never hidden.
Clear pricing. Most jobs are quoted per word, with urgent work priced separately.
Human contact available. A short call can be arranged for larger or more complex projects.
Services
The focus is on clarity, correctness and confidence — whether the document is academic, professional or somewhere in between.
Proofreading
Final checks for grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency and presentation.
Professional documents
Reports, proposals, presentations, statements and other high-stakes written material.
Afrikaans ↔ English support
Translation and language refinement for documents where both English and Afrikaans knowledge is required.
Pricing
ClearCopy Clinic uses per-word pricing for most projects, which makes quoting more predictable than an hourly model.
Most work falls in the region of R0.20 to R0.25 per word, depending on the document, deadline and level of editing required.
Urgent work is available at a premium, subject to capacity.
Before you send anything
You can request a quote by sending only the basic details first. If the job moves ahead, the document can then be shared as part of the next step.
How it works
The process is designed to be straightforward, transparent and collaborative where needed.
Send the basic details
Email the document type, approximate word count, deadline and the kind of editing you need. You do not need to send the full document at this stage.
Receive a quote and timeline
You will receive a clear price and an estimated turnaround time, so you can decide whether you want to proceed.
Share the document if you accept
Once you are ready to go ahead, the document can be shared for editing. For larger or more complex jobs, communication remains open throughout the process.
Review the edits
Editing is handled transparently so that changes remain visible and reviewable. Your document remains your work at all times.

Client feedback
“Willem’s editing was careful, clear, and professional, and he was mindful of the specifics of my field. The changes were easy to follow, communication was good throughout, and I still felt fully in control of my document. It was clear that he put a great deal of effort and care into the work. The process gave me more confidence in the final version.”
— Esteé Visser, Master’s student (Industrial and Organisational Psychology, NWU)
