Giselle's Proofing and Editing Service
Proofreading Service
I check for and correct spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors.
I can do this directly on paper or in Word using 'track changes'.
Copy Editing Service
I check and correct sentence structure and paragraphs. I won't rewrite your work, but will make recommendations if I think something would read better written in another way.
I check and correct the formatting of text, headings, headers and footers, page numbers, tables, captions, figures, quotes, citations and references.
I check and correct the numbering on pages, in headings, in lists, of tables, of captions, of figures and of references.
Understanding Your Requirements
Regardless of the method by which I receive your job, I will discuss with you over the phone, by email or even in person, if it can be arranged, your specific requirements free of charge.
Preparing My Quote
Everybody writes differently, and some pieces of work submitted to me will need more work than others. Some documents will be technical and some will be simple. Others will be very short or very long.
Therefore, I will only be able to give you an estimate quote for each job when I have had a chance to look at it.
What I Will Need From You Before I Begin
1. Your full name
2. Your contact phone number
3. Your email address
3. Your postal address
4. A date/time by which you would like your job to be completed
5. Written agreement from you that you will pay the invoiced amount into my bank account within 7 days of receiving my invoice.
My Fees
I charge A$47 per hour.
Before I begin your job, I will require an AU$47 deposit into my account, which will be deducted from the final invoice.
If you have a small job, I charge the minimum of AU$47.
If you have a large job, I will need to read at least five full-text pages to gauge how much time it takes to read and amend each page, in order to prepare an estimated quote for you for the entire job.
