Frequently Asked Questions

For a manuscript assessment, I read through the manuscript in full and then write a report.

For a developmental edit, I read through the manuscript and leave comments to point out areas where I feel the manuscript needs work and then write a report when I’ve read the whole thing.

For a copy edit, I read through the manuscript, using MS Word’s tracked changes feature to make some changes and adjustments that I feel will improve your manuscript. Because I use tracked changes, you can review every change I make and decide whether or not you feel it’s of benefit to your manuscript. I will also leave comments throughout the document and then will write a report detailing any changes and adjustments I am recommending.

For a proofread, I use tracked changes to point out spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and punctuation problems. I may leave comments at various places if I feel it’s necessary to explain the changes I’ve made.
