Rates
Rates will vary depending on the depth and level of editing. All rates and delivery times are agreed in advance. Urgent requests will be charged a premium. Deadlines will be noted.
Developmental editing is the most involved, as it entails a comprehensive review of the text, including structure, arguments, format, citations, visual elements – everything.
Should you just wish for your work to be stylistically engaging, as though it were written by an experienced native speaker, there is line editing. Arguments will be clearly articulated.
A standard edit of a text ensures that the text is up to snuff at the syntactical level, such as grammar, spelling, proper use of terms and phrases, punctuation, logical consistency, and disposition of visual elements, such as graphs and illustrations.
In addition, I offer feedback.
