My regular business hours are usually Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. through 4 p.m. Due to an increase in the number of emails and requests I am currently receiving, please allow some time for me to respond. I also still have five kids at home, each with different needs, so my hours may vary. I will do my best to reply to you as soon as possible. Sometimes I’m booked up weeks in advance, but I can usually fit formatting projects between editing projects. I also sometimes finish projects faster than expected or have cancelations, so please reach out and we’ll discuss what will work best for you.
Sample edits are always free, so let me know when you’d like to get started! If you send your full manuscript in Microsoft Word format, I can provide a sample for you to see my editing style and decide if we’re a good fit. Also, by sending the full manuscript and details of the services you are seeking, I can provide a detailed rate quote for you.
F.A.Q.
Here to help and answer any questions! If you can’t find what you need here feel free to contact me.
The four stages of editing are developmental editing (substantial or structural editing), copy-editing (also known as line editing, includes content editing and word choice, punctuation, and grammar), proofreading (marking anything the copy editor missed), and page proofing (the final check before it’s printed).
Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process, focusing on surface errors such as misspellings and mistakes in grammar and punctuation. You should proofread only after you have finished all of your other editing revisions.
Copy editors catch all the mistakes the author missed. Proofreaders catch all the mistakes the copy editor missed.
I like to think since I am a person and not a big business, I give better rates and a more personal touch to my service. I offer 2 revisions if necessary for my rates, and you’re always dealing with the same person so you’ll know my style and I’ll know yours.
The simple answer is, you’re requesting more of my time. It takes longer to actually make the changes than to simply mark them. However, I highly recommend you consider my copy-editing services if you have not already had someone do this for you, because a trained copy editor may improve the overall quality of your project.
No, generally speaking, if we negotiate an agreement, I’m going to do the work and meet a deadline under contract with you. I am being paid for my time so I do my best for my clients and include two free revisions if you are unhappy with the first revision. If you are sincerely unhappy with my service, I’ll understand if you go elsewhere in the future, but I’ll do everything in my power to prevent that and strive for your satisfaction. Please take a look at my reviews for further consideration.
If, for any reason I am unable to fulfill my end of the contract, only then will I offer a refund.
Currently, I am open to ghostwriting, developmental editing, copy-editing, proofreading, researching, formatting, and fact-checking. I’m interested in pursuing courses on copywriting and medical transcription and continually advancing my skill set to serve the needs of the writing community and media however, so if there is a need I can fulfill please don’t hesitate to contact me with any inquiries.
