EDITORIAL SERVICES
Proofreading: I will check for typos and missing articles along with spelling, formatting, and basic grammar errors that do not involve rewording. If you have not yet had a professional copy editor check your work, it is unlikely that the document is ready for this level of service.
Word Angel Rate: $45.00/hour & up
Copy editing: I will carefully examine each line of text to ensure that your ideas are presented as clearly as possible. Word choice, sentence structure, consistency, intent, and even rhythm are considered at this level of service. Where appropriate, I will also format a bibliography or works cited list in your chosen style and, whenever possible, will verify the details provided for each source. Upon request, I will generate a style sheet tailored to your project.
Word Angel Rate: $55.00/hour & up
Substantive/Developmental editing: I will work with you on issues related to the development of the text as a whole. We will work on the structure of the entire document, its organization, character and thematic development, focus, consistency—any aspect that needs attention. In scholarly writing, I will work to ensure that all aspects of your project, from literature review to results, work in tandem with one another and are presented in a way that is logical and intuitive to the reader; identify any methodological weaknesses or red flags in data interpretation that may hamper the peer-review process; and address ambiguous statements that detract from the clarity of your findings.
