Offers

My activity includes a range of services intended to promote different areas of knowledge to a more or less specialized audience. It is above all editorial (creation, correction and/or translation of specialized texts...), or even lecturing, but may also concern various processes of scientific data generation (collection of plant material, database management, botanical surveys, photographs...).

All offers are to be discussed and agreed upon on a case-by-case basis.

Do not hesitate to contact me, in order to better specify your expectations and to negotiate a personalised and advantageous offer. A request for quotation does not commit you in any way!

Depending on the type of activity and the difficulty of the subject, the fee can be flat rate (creation), hourly (correction, criticism, rewriting) or "per page" (correction, translation). The time it takes to complete projects depends on their length, as well as on my work-schedule. It lasts on average one month. An express / priority service can be requested and is subject to an additional fee.

 

Creation of customised texts

 

This category concerns the production of written documents dealing with a subject chosen and specifically instructed by the client.

As inspiration is generally not compatible with time constraints, the rate is mostly flat-rate! It is based on the number of signs without spaces, as this better reflects the amount of work done. The time spent searching for bibliographical documents is charged between 50 and 150 €.

 

Indicative prices

 

  • Simple text: from 5 € for 100 characters (without spaces)
  • Specialized text: from 8 € for 100 signs (without spaces)
  • Express service charge: from 100 €

           

Correction/rewriting of texts

 

This category includes the critical review of documents of varying length, from the cover letter to the scientific publication, including the CV or the master's thesis.

An hourly rate is usually applied. It may vary depending on the difficulty of the topic, the quality of the initial work, etc. A flat rate can be negotiated for important documents, such as peer-reviewed publications. Finally, a "per-page" rate may be considered, with each A4 page containing a maximum of 2500 characters without spaces (font: Times New Roman; size: 12).

 

Indicative prices

 

  • Hourly rate: from 40 €
  • Price "per page": from 100 €
  • Flat rate: from 300 €
  • Express service charge: from 100 €

 

Translation

 

This category concerns version works (English/French, German/French, Spanish/French) or, conversely, theme works (French/English). An hourly rate is generally applied.

It concerns oral presentations of short (15 min), medium (30-45 min) or long (60-90 min) duration. Prices include documentary research, preparation and the conference itself. Travel expenses are to be expected.

It is a set of activities proposed with the aim of generating, implementing or analyzing different types of data (scientific, historical, etc.). Examples include collecting plant material, establishing botanical surveys, managing databases, taking photographs, conducting bibliographical research, etc. Most of the time I offer hourly rates.

 

Indicative prices

 

  • Hourly rate: from 30 € per hour
  • Photography rate: to be negotiated according to the SOFAM scale

 

The photographs on this site are available for personal or educational use, after prior contact with the author of this site.

For any other use, especially commercial, better resolution pictures may be proposed. Based on SOFAM rates, the total price depends on the number of pictures, the source of final publication (website, book...), the printed size, etc. A contract will be established for each request.

Some feed-back regarding the general services or publications published on the site.
