FAQs
Q: What constitutes a page?
A: According to the industry standard, one page of text is made up of 250 words. Thus, to calculate the total page count of your manuscript, divide the total word count by 250.
Q: In what format should I submit my work?
A: While I am certainly willing to cater to your needs, I request that each project be submitted as an electronic Microsoft Word document. A typeset project submitted for proofreading may be formatted as a pdf.
Q: What if the extent of editing needed for my work falls somewhere in between the levels of service you provide?
A: If this happens to be the case for your project, I am willing to negotiate a price and level of editing that works best for you.
Q: Can you provide a sample edit of my work before I decide to utilize your services?
A: Absolutely. Please send me two to three pages of your manuscript, and I will provide a sample for you at no charge.
Q: How quickly will my edited work be returned to me?
A: The turnaround time for your project will depend on the extent of editing necessitated by your work, as well as the number of projects I am working on at that time. After I have looked at a sample of your work, I will quote a date by which I will be able to complete your project.
Q: What if I need my work to be edited before the quoted deadline?
A: A rush fee will be added to your bill if you need your work to be edited by a date earlier than the deadline that I quote for you. The amount of the rush fee will be determined by the deadline you are requesting. Generally, the fee will range from 20% to 50% of the total quoted price.
