Formats and Tools
I accept documents via email, or postal mail. I work primarily with electronic documents in Microsoft® Word, or printed documents edited manually. Other formats may be available as requested.
Electronic documents can be returned via email or burned onto a CD. Hard copy documents can only be returned via 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 the corrections to the electronic document yourself.
Any document sent 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.
