Will you provide a free sample and/or consultation?
Of course…if it’s a writing sample you need, I will provide previously written samples of my work. I will only write original samples on spec for a fee.
If you would like a free editing consultation, please feel free to send me a 2-4 page (500-1,000 word) sample of your work and we can go from there. I will determine your needs, and customize rates to work for your project. If your document is very short, other arrangements will be made.
What are your rates?
In order to calculate the fairest estimate for your writing or editing needs, I use an industry standard word count of approximately 250 to 300 words per double-spaced page. My rates are competitive with the current market.
MINIMUM NOTE: A minimum of one hour ($30) will apply to most projects.
What are your hours?
My standard hours of contact are Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 5 PM, Pacific Central Time. You may contact me after hours and weekends by appointment only. However, considering I am a freelancer, I reserve the right to work whenever I choose, including after hours.
Will you write my term paper?
Sorry…I will not write term papers. However…I will gladly edit your papers so that they are the best they can possibly be, clean and free of errors. After multiple years of tutoring students and editing their work, my experience has helped earn excellent grades for my students.
What will you edit?
For the most part, I am available to edit and/or proofread a wide variety of various materials, from articles and essays to resumes and letters, as well as fiction and nonfiction of various lengths, and much more. Ask me, I will probably edit it.
How will you edit?
I use “track changes” on your document, highlighting in one color and commenting in another color. This makes it easy for you to see what I have done. I can also print your work and edit it using editing marks.
Will you help me get published?
I can help you prepare your work for submission by editing, revising, critiquing, or consulting. I cannot guarantee that it will get published. Since I am not an agent, nor do I work as a liaison with particular agents or publishers, getting published is up to you.
Can you provide either American or UK grammar and punctuation?
Yes, I am familiar with both American and British grammar/spelling and punctuation.
Why should I hire you? How do you stand apart from all the others?
My passion for writing and editing comes through clearly in my work. I am a freelance writer myself, so I understand the importance of writing and of getting your work in the best possible shape. I love what I do. My goal is to make your writing appear its very best.
I especially love editing and proofreading, and have been helping others clean up their written work for many years.
Why do I need your editing or writing services for my business?
First impressions mean a great deal, on paper and the Internet. Do you want your piece to be taken seriously? If so, as a professional I will help you reach that goal.
