Still not sure which option to order?
Email me with your question or a sample of your work (at least 3-10 pages). I'll provide a free estimate (normally within a day or two) and we can discuss your specific needs.

Does your work fall between the standard categories listed above?
No problem. Send me a sample of your work for a free estimate, and we can negotiate a custom rate appropriate for you.


How do editorial revisions show up in the manuscript?
In matters of basic grammar, I will make revisions for you, according to what standard usage requires. Suggested changes are incorporated directly into your text. To give you the option of reviewing each change alongside the original wording, I apply highlighting through Word's "Track Changes" feature. In cases where I don't have enough information to suggest the appropriate change, I'll insert a comment with my question or suggestion. These also are highlighted so that you can make the final changes.
