How It Works:  Thorough, Efficient Electronic Collaboration

The steps involved in an edit differ depending on the type of edit done:  Comprehensive Edit or Quick Check.  Select one of the choices below:
  • Comprehensive Edit
  • Quick Check


Steps Involved in a Comprehensive Edit

1. YOU:  download a Client Information Form and send it to us with 1-2 sample pages from your document.  (Please send pages that you think need the most work.)

2. YOUR EDITOR:  sends you an Agreement Form, which contains:
  • answers to any questions noted on your information form,
  • a suggested schedule for your edit, and
  • an estimate of the total cost.
(To download sample Agreement Form, click here.)

3. YOU:  complete the Agreement Form and return it to us along with:
  • your complete document, written in double-spaced, 12-point Times; and
  • a note indicating 3 possible times you could speak with your editor by phone. (Your editor will select one of these.)
Within 24 hours after these are received, you will receive, via email, the name of the editor who will be working with you and the time he/she will call.

4. YOUR EDITOR:  contacts you by phone and you two discuss your edit, the schedule for the remaining steps, and the cost. Following this conversation, your editor emails you an invoice for 50% of the total cost.

5. YOU:  pay the invoice by credit card. 

6. YOUR EDITOR:  completes the work and emails the first half of your edited document and an invoice for the second half of the total cost.

7. YOU:  pay the second invoice by credit card.

8. YOUR EDITOR:  completes the work, emails the second half of your document to you, and suggests possible times to review the edit with you by phone.

9. YOU & YOUR EDITOR:  discuss the edit and address any remaining questions you have.

10. YOU:  incorporate the suggested changes into your document.  You're done!
