Communication is via email. Typically, once we have agreed to work together, the process is as follows:
-
You would email your document to me as a Word attachment.
-
I use the Tools/Track Changes feature in Word to edit your document so that you can see each suggested change.
-
If you wish, you can toggle off the track changes to read a “clean” copy of your edited document without the red underlines and strike-throughs.
-
I use the Insert/Comment feature in Word for comments and questions; these comments appear in the margins of your document.
-
I return an edited draft of your document for your review.
-
You may address any comments and questions I may have, then accept (or reject) the suggested edits using the Accept (or Reject) all Changes in Document feature in Word, and make additional revisions accordingly. Sometimes the process ends here, and no further editing is required.
-
You may wish to send me a revised version of your document for a final read-through.
Note:
-
The content of your paper (text, graphs, tables, references, citations, etc.) is your responsibility. I am not an expert in your field, but I will let you know if I think the information would be confusing to your reader or is unclear. I am not a fact-checker and cannot weigh in on your results, analysis, and conclusions.
-
I do not charge for the time that we spend in email correspondence (unless text is pasted into an email for review).
