About this service

Summary

As an educator, I understand how important it is for writing to be accessible to the audience you envision for it. I will edit your piece and adjust it to your chosen market so that it is understandable and enjoyable to read.

Proofreading involves meticulous organization and notes describing recommended changes regarding your work’s grammar, syntax, structure, and sentence framing. Editing is a more dedicated work that deals with delivering notes on your project’s readability, the quality of understanding, and larger, structural details.

I aim to make this process discrete and helpful to you!

FAQs

How long does it take to have detailed editing and revision recommendations?
I consider myself a thorough editor and proofreader, and it depends on the length of the piece and complexity. For fiction, I can complete about 2,000 words of grammatical and syntax editing in an hour. It takes about two additional hours for detailed revision for a piece of the same length and notes as desired. Nonfiction pieces can be edited at a rate of about 1,500 words per hour, with revision notes available depending on the subject. This usually takes about two hours.
Can you give revision notes to complex documents, such as a thesis?
I am able to do this! I will request some sources that you use to ensure the highest level of utilization, but I can make your complex nonfiction shine.
I have multiple projects. Are you able to have discussions about the price points of multiple pieces?
I am happy to take on multiple pieces. We can discuss pricing options and negotiate through my Google calendar.

Meredith was so communicative and easy to work with! She helped translate some class materials into Spanish for me and had them done well within the timeframe I needed them by. I will absolutely be requesting her services again!
