How Can I Help?
Find answers to common questions about my editing services.
I edit a wide range of documents including academic papers, business reports, website content, marketing materials, books, and personal documents. I have extensive experience in various fields and can adapt to different writing styles and requirements.
My editing process is simple: upload your document through my secure platform, select the type of editing service you need, and provide any specific instructions. I will then carefully review your document, make necessary corrections and improvements, and return the edited version to you within the agreed timeframe.
It depends on the length and complexity of your document, as well as the type of editing service you choose. I work with you to establish a reasonable delivery time that meets your needs while ensuring quality work.
Yes, I offer different levels of editing to meet your specific needs. My services include proofreading (for grammar, spelling, and punctuation), copy editing (for clarity, flow, and consistency), and substantive editing (for structure, organisation, and content development).
Once you've submitted your document, you can track its progress through your personal dashboard. You'll receive notifications at each stage of the editing process, and you can log in at any time to check the status of your document.
Absolutely. I take confidentiality very seriously. All documents uploaded to my platform are encrypted and stored securely. I maintain strict confidentiality and never share your documents or personal information with third parties.
I accept most common file formats, including .docx, .doc, .pdf, .txt, .rtf, and .odt. If you have a document in a different format, please contact me to discuss options.
I accept all major credit cards exclusively through Stripe, a secure payment processor. Payment is processed securely through my website. For corporate clients or large projects, I can also arrange for invoice payment.
Your own client might specify any one of a number of citation and references styles. Some publishers and agents specify font and type size for submitted manuscripts. The more details you can provide about your specific requirements, the better I can tailor my editing to meet your needs.
I don't guarantee that I can detect AI, but it's not impossible. If you have concerns about AI-generated content in your document, please let me know and I can pay special attention to this during the editing process.
Agency-type services farm out reading and editing to a team of people. The agency pays those people about 50–75% of the fee you pay. Maybe – if your paper or book is more than about 10K words, the agency will break the job up between different members of their team. Having one dedicated editor ensures consistency throughout your document and a deeper understanding of your writing style and objectives.
The clean manuscript (with corrections taken in) should be re-read by you to ensure meaning, spelling, factual accuracy are still intact. The original manuscript (with corrections displayed) should be checked and corrections confirmed/agreed to by you.
Do you only check the parts I have changed? It depends on the extent of your changes. For minor changes, I can focus just on those sections. For more extensive revisions, I recommend a complete review to ensure consistency and quality throughout the document.
It depends on the length of your document, the type of service you need, and the complexity of the work required. I offer transparent per-word pricing for my standard services, with custom quotes available for specialised projects. Please see my Services page for current rates.
