Are your business document editing and proofreading quotes fully inclusive?

The price includes communicating with you, receiving the work, reading, reviewing, and understanding the content, carrying out two reads, complete editing and proofreading, comments, advice, support, and aftercare. If there ever needs to be a change to the pricing, I would contact you and agree any changes before carrying out any work, but that’s very rare.
Can I see a list of projects you’ve worked on?
Yes, I have a project list that summarizes the types of copy editing and proofreading work that I carry out. You can filter by topic and service type.

What document formats do you edit in?
I can edit in Word or Google Docs. If I edit in Word, I will send you two versions of your file — one that tracks all the changes I have made, and one with all those changes "accepted." Under some circumstances I can also proofread PowerPoint slides and PDF documents, using “sticky notes” or the proofreading marks function.
Do you keep my individual writing style and approach?
Yes, I edit with sensitivity to make sure your thoughts, ideas, and research are coming through. I also ensure your writing is clear, concise, and easy to understand. I edit for flow and comprehension, so you get your point across in the most effective way. It still sounds like you wrote it, only more precise.
Can you edit to a style guide?
Yes, just send the style guide to me, let me know your requirements, and I will edit and proofread to those needs. I am also familiar with many style and reference frameworks, including AP, Chicago, Harvard, and more.
