This is an easy first step. Follow the link in the header to a confidential form that includes some basic information about your manuscript and the opportunity to upload 3-5 sample pages. This allows me to price each edit fairly, so that clients pay only for the level of service they receive. You will receive a cost and estimated time frame for your project in your inbox within one business day.

Your estimate will include a link for payment of a small deposit on your work, as well as a link to a personal, password protected folder in google drive workspace. The editing process begins when you upload your manuscript.

Every manuscript receives a minimum of three read-throughs: one for content and understanding, one for clarity of language, and one for details of grammar, punctuation, and formatting. Most communication regarding edits take place in-document, as suggested corrections and queries. Any edits beyond clear-cut grammar and style guidelines will be suggested as in-line comments.

When I have completed a full edit, I will upload the revised document and email a summary of any significant queries for your review. You will have an opportunity to read through the manuscript, ask questions, and respond to queries before your edits are finalized.

When the query process is complete, I will upload the finalized manuscript and email a brief summary of any secondary revisions as well as an opportunity to schedule a final phone or zoom consult to answer any questions. Your edits are complete!

Following the final consult, you will receive an invoice for the balance of the quoted cost of your edit. Invoicing is handled via email with links to a secure online payment portal. Payment is accepted via all major credit cards and paypal.
