Guidelines:
Copy Editing involves reviewing your manuscript for clarity, organization, and usage of the proper words.
Proofreading involves fixing typos, punctuation, and grammar.
I proofread your manuscript in either a PDF (Portable Document Format) or a Word document.
My turnaround time begins after a job is received and I confirm receipt of that job.
When you send a job, we will agree on a deadline. Please let me know when you would like it back and include the word count.
If there is ever a time that I am unable to meet a deadline due to an illness or an unexpected emergency, I will contact you promptly and provide a referral to you.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you charge more for returning work quickly?
I will always return your work as soon as I am able to, depending on my own schedule and how much work I already have booked, but I will always be upfront about what is pending for me at that moment. I do not normally charge a rush fee unless you need the work back very quickly or I need to work over the weekend.
How quickly can you return the manuscript?
When you request to work with me, let me know when you would like to have the manuscript returned to you. We will agree on a deadline together, and I will return the work to you on or before that date.
How do I pay you for your copy editing and proofreading services?
I use FreshBooks for invoicing. I also have varies other means to receive payments, just ask!
