The rate scale will be decided after receipt of the material and a brief review as to the level of work required. There will be an increase in rate of $1 per page for a short turn-around time that requires evening or weekend work.
A free estimate will be provided, along with a letter of agreement as to turn-around time and payment. Payment is by check, cash, or money order. PayPal is available for a surcharge. The surcharge will be waived if the rate per page has been increased for a short turn-around time, as above.
New customers submitting work that is more than four pages receive one free page of editing before committing to the project.
Light copyediting involves spelling, punctuation, and grammar correction, as well as simple word use (i.e.: principle vs. principal).
Medium copyediting, in addition to the above, addresses such things as: consistency of abbreviation and number usage; sentence structure that is grammatically correct but awkward; and logical, clear and consistent content. Also, all technical writing (Tech) falls under this category.
