My Approach
Every writing project is different, so this is a super flexible outline of how things could run when we work together to improve your writing.
1.
You get in touch with me to let me know what you require. I will ask you some questions so that I can get a better idea of what your job requires:
​
-
How many pages/words are in your document?
-
Is it written in simple English, or is there some trade jargon?
-
What is your document about?
-
Do you require proofreading, or is there some copy-editing required too?
-
Do you have a deadline to meet?
​
I might also ask for a sample of your work – this is to help me get an idea about your writing style and how much time will be involved.
​
2.
The price and timeline will be agreed upon.
​
3.
Ideally, you will supply me your document in Microsoft Word format. You can send this to me by email, flash drive, Google Drive, or Dropbox. If your document is in a different format or you have another way to send it to me, then we can make that work too!
​
4.
I will read through your document twice. The first time is to get a feel for your writing style and to pick up any obvious mistakes. The second time will be a more thorough review.
​
5.
I work using Track Changes in Microsoft Word. This is so you can clearly see what changes or comments I have made. You can then choose to 'accept/decline' the changes that I have made. Haven’t used Track Changes before? I am more than happy to talk you through it, or we can find another way that works better for you.
​
6.
I will then return your document (with tracked changes) along with an invoice. A receipt can be provided once payment has been received.

As I said earlier... a super flexible outline!
I am always up for learning new ideas, so if you have any suggestions as to how you would prefer to work, then please let me know, and we can figure something out to suit us both.
