PROCESSING YOUR DOCUMENTS
Formats and Tools
I accept documents via email or postal mail. I work primarily with electronic documents in MS Word or Open Office, or printed documents edited manually. Other formats may be available as requested.
Electronic documents can be returned via email, as Word documents or PDFs, or burned onto a CD. Hard copy documents can only be returned by postal mail.
Process
Communication via email or phone will be maintained throughout the project, to make progress reports and resolve any questions that arise.
Electronic documents in Word will be edited using the “Track Changes” feature. You will receive two versions of the document: one with all changes and comments included, and one clean copy that shows how the document looks with all changes incorporated. You may also receive a separate file with more extensive comments and suggestions.
If you prefer, I can print the document and edit the hard copy manually, returning the marked-up manuscript by mail so you can make corrections to the electronic document yourself.
Any document sent to me only as a hard copy manuscript will be edited manually and returned by mail or courier.
Processing Times
Working with your schedule and deadlines, on shorter projects I can edit text up to 20 pages within four business days. Longer projects will require estimates of processing time. Urgent processing may be available on request.
PAYMENT SCHEDULE
Up to $50 project – payment of invoice upon completion
For a first project, $51 and above – 25% advance before project begins, 25% at mid-point, remainder on completion
Over $500, payment schedule to be determined
PAYMENT METHODS
I accept payments through PayPal or Interac. (Please note that you do not require a PayPal account to use their service.)
Money orders are also welcome. I may also accept checks, but the check must clear before work on a project begins. Arrangements can be made to work on your manuscript in stages if you would prefer not to submit a large project all at once.
All payments are due upon receipt of invoice.
