Feel
free to get in touch with me to run some ideas by me if you are not
sure how this is going to work for you, or if you would like advice on
your writing without sending a full-blown submission for
editing; see the contact page or email me, and we shall
talk.
Consultation is available by request for each submission.
Genres Accepted: manuscripts [fiction/nonfiction], academic writing, business writing
More genres here
Lengths Accepted: all
Files Accepted: Word (.doc), .txt, .pdf (must be convertible/allow changes), .htm, .html documents
Editing Provided: Copy-editing, unless specified otherwise
Turnaround: 7-10 days (Sundays not included); I will get back
to you as soon as possible, but
there is some dependence upon how many are in the queue, how long submissions are, and how
much I have to do otherwise.
Please do not expect 50 pages back
the next day: the longer the submission, the more chance you have of
waiting a little longer. If that applies, I will drop an email letting
you know and provide reasons, a time to expect a return, and an
opportunity to recall your submission.
Submission Format: None: I have no
preference for what your submission looks like; if need be, I will
change it myself, so your submission may look different when returned
to you.
If you are sending me an electronic copy, a hard copy by mail is highly
recommended, but not required. If you are sending your submission
by ground mail alone, please include a self-addressed, pre-postage-paid
envelope for the return (not necessary if an electronic copy has been
sent).
Please
copy/paste the template into your email/onto the front page for every submission you
choose to send; it does not need to be in/on a separate email/page, but I need
this information for each individual submission. If it does not apply
to yours, put N/A by the category.
