Services can provide for you.
We also can provide a free sample edit

up to 500 words. (See the rates and
guidelines page for details and specifications.)
- Proofreading/Light Copy Editing:
We
go
over your work with a fine-toothed comb, magnifying glass and red
pencil in hand. We check for spelling, grammar, punctuation and
clarity. If images are included, we check for credit lines and
orientation. Our proofreading service is best for people who need a
final check of materials before they go to press, go live or go
public. Proofreading
services are $25.00 per hour.
- Substantive/Heavy Copy Editing: In
addition to proofreading your document, substantive and copy editing
services consist of looking at your form and format as well as your
content. We make comments and give suggestions for making improvements.
We re-architect your work without changing your meaning. We examine
your sources and make sure that your citations adhere to the correct
style for your writing/audience. If you need to adhere to a specific
writing style or editorial style sheet, we make sure that your final
marked-up copy does. Our substantive/copy editing service is best for
people with one draft or several renditions of drafts and need the work
tightened, polished and put together. Substantive/Copy Editing services
are $35 per hour.
- Manuscript Critiquing:
You
have a body of work that you feel is close to being ready, but you want
an objective opinion about it and suggestions for tightening it. This
is where our
manuscript critiquing service comes in. We give you a
detailed analysis of the work, tell you what works and what doesn't
including pointing out where there are gaps in logic or continuity
issues, and provide suggestions for changes. We offer a detailed
analysis of your work, and examine it for clarity and content providing
you with a written, detailed explanation of our opinion of the work,
how well it reads and how clearly it is understood. We consider issues
beyond grammar and syntax such as tone, appropriateness, narration,
voice, strength (of storyline or thesis), format, and in the case of
scholarly works, whether the conclusion is a strong one, supported by
the evidence presented in the body of your work. This service is best
for people with a nearly final draft. Our Manuscript
Critiquing service starts at $3.00 per page.
