Steps for Submitting a Document
|
1) Availability of Services: Before submitting a document, please
send me an e-mail to make sure that my work load will allow me to take
on your project and meet your deadlines.
2) Submission: The preferred method for receiving your document is
an e-mail attachment. Generally, proofreading and editing are
completed through the "track changes" function of Word. However, if
your submission is not a Word document, we can make other
arrangements. Please specify which service you seek and the date by
which you need it completed.
If you prefer, you may also submit your work as a hard copy. Please
e-mail me for the mailing address.
When submitting by mail, UPS, etc., please specify which service you
seek, the date by which you need it completed, and your e-mail
address.
3) Acknowledgement: You will promptly receive an e-mail
acknowledging receipt of your document, as well as a price quote and
an estimate of the turn-around time.
I ask that first-time clients pay 30 percent of the quoted cost up front.
I'm sorry to have to do this: Unfortunately, prior experience with
non-paying clients requires me to. I love to edit, but I can't afford to do
it for free!
4) Service: After you accept the estimate, your document will be
proofread/copyedited and returned in the same manner it was
submitted to me.
5) Payment: You will receive an invoice by e-mail for the balance due.
After reviewing the work, please remit payment.
