FAQ
What information do you need for a personalised offer?
When first contacting me, please make sure to provide a word count, a description of the project and a deadline if you have one in mind.
Do you accept direct orders?
I do (orders of up to 5000 words). Please discuss orders of a bigger scope with me first to check for availability.
Do you use AI for proofreading/editing?
No! Everything is proofread manually. While AI will help to erase the biggest spelling and grammar mistakes from your text, I will be able to provide, localisation, tailored feedback and also avoid the common issues of AI.
Do you offer (ghost)writing as part of your gig?
No, I am not a writer myself. I only proofread and edit other people's texts.
