What’s the difference between proofreading and copy editing?
Copy editing corrects grammar, usage, and consistency, and can involve rewording sentences. Proofreading is the final check for typos and formatting once editing is done. If your writing hasn’t been edited yet, line and copy editing is usually the place to start.
Which service do I need?
If you’re still shaping the structure, start with content editing. If the structure works but the sentences need polish, choose line and copy editing. If it’s already been edited and you want a final check, choose proofreading.
Not sure? Pick “Not sure yet” on the quote form and I’ll recommend one.
How is the price worked out?
Each service has a per-word rate, listed on the Pricing page. The calculator gives you an estimate in seconds. After I’ve seen your document, I confirm an exact price before any work starts.
How long will my project take?
It depends on the length and the service. As a guide, a 2,500-word essay takes 2 to 3 days, and an 80,000-word manuscript takes 3 to 4 weeks. Rush turnaround is available for an extra fee.
Do you edit college essays and theses?
Yes. I edit for clarity, grammar, and flow, and I explain my changes so you can learn from them. I don’t write or rewrite assignments, and the ideas and arguments stay yours. Check your school’s rules on editing help before you book.
What file types do you work with?
Microsoft Word (.docx) and Google Docs. I edit with tracked changes and comments, so you can accept or reject each change. You can also upload a PDF or text file for your quote.
How do I pay?
I take Zelle as a form of online payment only. If there is a different form of payment needed, feel free to email me at ronancharles2018@gmail.com. All services rendered will be put into a lump sum, and if said services do need to be expedited, the fee will be applied.
Is my writing kept private?
Yes. I never share your work, and anything you upload through this website is deleted from the site automatically after 30 days.
