Process, pricing, and turnaround
Having your document edited is this simple:
- Attach your draft document in Microsoft® Word along with any figures and figure legends to an email and send to [email protected]
- I will return the document with suggested changes, which you can each accept or reject using Track Changes.
- When you are satisfied with the result, I will send an invoice.
Confidentiality
I will keep your work confidential and will sign a non-disclosure agreement if requested.
Pricing
5 cents (US$) per word
Manuscript turnaround
2–3 business days
Grant turnaround
3–4 business days
For a typical 5000-word manuscript, I would charge ~$250. (I do not edit references, and these are not included in the word count.) The actual turnaround time varies and depends on the document and my availability.
