About this service

Summary

In need of a reliable copy editor and/or proofreader to enhance the quality of your writing and shape it into something compelling? As a copy editor, I've honed my skills by working with multinational publishing company Dorling Kindersley as well as award-winning investigative journalism magazine The Caravan in New Delhi, as well as on diverse projects for nonprofits, small businesses, individual clients, and my own journalistic work.
Rates start at $25/hour for most projects. However, for more technical projects (such as engineering or biomedical), my rate is $35/hour.

Process

Here's how the process goes:
Get in touch with your requirements. We'll discuss the project via email or call, sign a contract, and I'll get started.
I'll deliver the completed project by the specified deadline (or a couple of days earlier).
We'll discuss any feedback you may have. Once approved, I'll send across an invoice.
In the case of bigger projects (such as a book), we'll schedule regular check-in calls as required.
