About this Gig
I'm here to help you refine your prose, maintaining your voice, not to rewrite it.
I am an experienced, accredited copyeditor and proofreader and full member of the American Copy Editors Society with over 1,150 completed gigs.
I am experienced in copyediting and proofreading non-fiction, academic, and legal proofreading (under English and Welsh law).
I work with the following document online formats:
- MS Word;
- ODT; and
- Google Documents.
I don't work with LaTeX, PDF, PPT, PPTX, XLS, or XLSX files, or their open-source counterparts.
I will make at least three passes through the document using track changes and comments to mark edits. I will use suggestions in Google Docs files. The gig includes light rewriting consistent with refining your prose.
I will provide the following:
1. A marked-up copy that is an amalgamation of all editing and proofreading passes; and
2. A clean copy incorporating the suggested changes* **.
*Google Docs does not support this function.
** Not for academic or legal documents.
Gigs may be split between two or more documents submitted simultaneously in the same order.
I accept briefs and custom orders.

FAQ
When do you charge on a time basis?
A time basis is used for charging: 1. For the tiny number of gigs that require such extensive editing that charging per 1,000 words or part thereof is not appropriate, and 2. For those gigs where charging on a time basis has been agreed.
How are your charges calculated?
It is charged on a time basis at $40 per hour in units of six minutes, equivalent to one-tenth of an hour.
Can I pay by milestones?
You can ask to pay by milestones. The overall value of the gig must be greater than $200. 50% of the gig value is to be paid on order, and the value of each milestone, except the last one, must not be less than 25% of the gig value
Copyright
I own the copyright and all other intellectual rights in my work. No copyright or other intellectual right in my work shall pass to the buyer until the buyer approves the completed work and I receive payment in full. No copyright or other intellectual rights shall pass on milestone payments.
Clean copy
As author of the document you are responsible for its content, including which of the suggested changes are accepted. If a clean copy is provided, it is for information only.
Can I ask for a custom offer?
Yes, you can. Please provide full details of the work to be done and the completion deadline. Custom offers are open for acceptance for 7 days unless otherwise agreed. Offering the gig to another service provider automatically revokes the custom offer.
Can I ask for a discount or make a counter-offer of a lower price?
You can. However, doing so: 1. Automatically rejects the offer I made to you; 2. I am not obliged to accept a counteroffer or negotiate the price; 3. I am not obliged to reinstate my original offer; and 4. At my discretion, I may make a new offer on different terms, including the price.
What if I order insufficient gigs?
I will tell you if you have ordered insufficient gigs and invite you to make a further order. If you choose not to place a further order, I will stop when I reach the end of the gig(s) you ordered.
Do you work with LaTeX and PDF files?
No, I do not work with LaTeX and PDF files. Nor do I work with PPT, PPTX, XLS, XLSX, or their open source counterparts. I only work with .doc, .docx, .odt, and Google Docs files.
What dialects of English do you edit in?
I can edit in UK, US, Australian, Canadian, and Indian dialects of English.
