The
client receives a separate document containing the editor�s notes on each
chapter or major section. The client then engages in rewriting, deciding
which suggestions to implement. Writing Consultations ($60/hour) are
available if the client desires real-time assistance developing his or
her text. This service, in combination
with Editing & Proofreading, is recommended for clients with long
projects, such as books, theses, dissertations, and journal articles. |
The editor uses
Microsoft Word�s Track Changes feature or Google Docs to polish the client�s
writing style and proofread for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. This service does not include
feedback on big-picture concerns, such as fact-checking or developing and
reorganizing ideas. For assistance with these, the client is encouraged to
receive Editorial Feedback. |
The editor uses
Microsoft Word�s Track Changes feature or Google Docs to ensure the format of
the author�s in-text citations and references complies with the chosen style
guide. The editor
will also correct other style elements specific to the guide. |
