FAQ
Ich habe es eilig! Bist Du kurzzeitig verfügbar? Wie lange wird die Korrektur dauern?
Grundlegend ja. Ich antworte schnell, auch wenn ich gegenwärtig nicht als "online" angezeigt werde. Für gewöhnlich beginne ich mit meiner Arbeit direkt an dem Tag, an dem ein Auftrag aufgegeben wird. Frage mich am besten persönlich nach einer Einschätzung der Bearbeitungszeit für Dein Projekt.
Was bedeutet Proofreading & Editing? Ist der Standard-GIG das Richtige für mich?
Proofreading und Editing umfasst über die Korrektur von Zeichensetzung, Rechtschreibung und Grammatik hinaus auch das Prüfen von Satzstellung und Lesbarkeit. Ich achte auf angemessene Formulierungen, passendes (akademisches) Vokabular und inhaltliche Zusammenhänge zwischen Paragraphen und Kapiteln.
Was bedeutet Structural Editing? Ist der Premium-GIG das Richtige für mich?
Structural Editing meint, dass ich aktiv in Deinen Text eingreife, also sowohl an Form und Inhalt arbeite, als auch umstrukturierte und kommentiere. Bachelor-, Master- u. Doktorarbeiten berate ich hier: https://www.fiverr.com/bastianmay/copyedit-structurally-edit-and-comment-on-your-german-text
Wie arbeitest Du? Was für ein Dokument erhalte ich von Dir?
Ich arbeite mit Microsoft WORD. Über die Funktionen "Änderungen anzeigen" und "Kommentare anzeigen" in Deinem Schreibprogramm erhältst Du transparente Einsicht in das, was ich an Deinem Text verändert habe. Du kannst für jede Änderungen individuell entscheiden, ob Du diese annehmen möchtest.
Verwendest Du Korrektur- oder Übersetzungs-Programme? Machst Du die Arbeit selbst?
Ich mache alles selbst. Ich arbeite weder mit technischer noch fremder Hilfe. Vom ersten Anschreiben bis hin zum Abschiedsgruß stehst Du direkt und ausschließlich mit mir in Kontakt. Jedes Projekt, das ich annehme, behandele ich mit Sorgfalt und Ehrgeiz - als wäre es mein eigener Text.
I am in a hurry! I need something done fast! Can you help? How long will it take?
Of cource. I respond quickly, even if you do not see me as "currently online". Generally, I will start working on a project the day an order is placed. Each project is unique. Feel invited to contact me directly for an individual offer and quote.
What is proofreading & editing? Is the Standard-GIG the GIG I need?
Not only will I proofread grammar, punctuation, and spelling, but I will also improve your style. I will work on your sentence structure for better readibility and I will alter your vocabulary in accordance with your creative, academic, or professional requirements.
What is structural editing? Is the Premium-GIG the right one for me?
You will receive detailed corrections and commentary on your work. I will provide suggestions on how to re-structure your paragraphs and chapters for better readability and for meeting academic / professional standards. I will recommend appropriate vocabulary in accordance with your requirements.
How do you work? How will I see your corrections and commentary?
I work manually and take great care to improve both denotation and connotation embedded in your text. I work with Microsoft WORD, which enables me to comment on your text and further allows you to trace all commentary that I provide. With that, you are always a part of the editing process.

Ongoing collaborationThe one and only delivers again! Bastian may beat me up, but he never lets me down. And his beatings are those of a sculptor attacking a piece clay and leaving it more shapely than before. Immer im Takt!
