My rates:

I offer a free sample edit of 500–1,000 words, which helps us evaluate if we are a good fit for each other. If you are happy with the result, I will send you a quote based on the length, scope, nature, and required turnaround time.

I do not require a minimum size. Please note that each piece of writing is unique, has its own level of complexity, and requires a different amount of effort on the part of the proofreader. I will look at all these facets before suggesting a total price. I require a 50% deposit on any project over 5,000 words.

Additional information:

I primarily work with Microsoft Word and PDF. However, if you would like me to use different software, such as Apple’s iAnnotate, we can discuss that.

Reference materials I use include:

  • The Chicago Manual of Style Guide, 17th edition
  • Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary
  • The Best Punctuation Book, Period

Payment

I currently only accept payment via PayPal.
