Editing Services

ImageAre you a writer who wants to improve your chances of getting published? A student looking for editorial support for a graduate research paper? A business owner with a web site in need of a skilled, yet affordable, proofreader?

Maybe all your document needs is some basic editing--a trained proofreader to catch simple oversights in grammar, spelling or punctuation. Or maybe your document could benefit from copy editing, with attention given to better phrasing and the finer points of style. You choose the level of editing you want.

How do editorial revisions show up in the manuscript?

With basic editing, we will make revisions for you according to what standard usage requires. Normally, we will incorporate suggested changes directly into your text. If you prefer to have more control over reviewing each change alongside the original wording, we can apply Word's "Track Changes" feature. When we don't have enough information to suggest the appropriate change, we will insert a comment with a question or suggestion for you. 

Editing Rates

Proofreading

If your writing is already polished and simply needs a final check for spelling, punctuation, and basic grammar, we can offer you low rates and fast service. Discounts available for 15 pages or greater.

Your cost: $4.50 per page*, $15 per 1000 words.

Basic Copy Editing

In addition to proofreading, edits will be made for word choice, clarity, and phrasing.
