Documents may be submitted via attachment to email or in hard copy through regular mail. See our contact us page for contact information and more details.
Documents submited via e-mail may be in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, or HTML. Documents will be returned in MS Word unless otherwise requested. Hard copy documents should be at least 12-pt. font and preferably double-spaced.
Corrections are made using MS Word's Track Changes function, which allows you to easily see our comments and suggestions and gives you the option of accepting or rejecting those suggestions. Corrections on hard copy documents will be made directly on the document. We will provide a key to all copyediting symbols used.
Our proofreading service provides a word by word check for errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar, and word usage. Minor changes in word usage may be suggested. Copyediting is a more detailed process that includes proofreading as well as suggestions to improve sentence structure, organization, accuracy, etc.
Please see our services page for a detailed explanation.
Documents are returned within 2-3 business days. Documents longer than 25 pages may require additional time. Typically allow one day per 25-30 pages.
