Turnaround, like many other things, is negotiable. But here are some guidelines to help you plan:

dissertation or thesis formatting: Formatting can usually be done within one week, particularly if the document is otherwise complete.

dissertation or thesis editing: Turnaround for editing varies, depending on length and complexity of the material. It's best to allow three weeks or more. I don't do "rush" thesis/dissertation editing, unless only a quick proofread is needed, because rush turnaround doesn't leave time for queries or multiple rounds of revisions.

editing other than thesis/dissertation projects: For documents of 100 pages or less, turnaround is approximately one week.

short projects: Documents of 10 pages or less can usually be completed within a day or two.
 


dissertation or thesis formatting: Full payment is due when the document is accepted by your graduate school advisor or, if filing is not imminent, when the current round of formatting is complete.

editing: Full payment is due when the current round of editing revisions is complete.

repeat customers on a 30-day invoice cycle: Full payment is due 30 days from invoice date.
 


I accept payment by check or credit card, or by company or university purchase order. If you need to make a special arrangement, ask!
