How We Operate
Our methods of working
We are able to work both from hard copy and directly on-screen.
We prefer hard copy to be typed and double spaced. We mark up text in red ink, using standard marks for capitalisation, italic, headings, etc. A glossary of these marks is available on request.
For on-screen editing you should send us your document in a recognised format, preferably as a Microsoft Word file. After correction we will return your document either by post or by e-mail, along with a list of author queries where appropriate.
In copy-editing a document we may generate a list of author queries, identifying places in the text where we need further information or clarification to emend satisfactorily. On receiving your response to the queries we then incorporate the appropriate corrections.
Payment and terms
Once we have received your document and discussed your requirements with you, we can normally offer you a quotation and completion date straightaway. Please contact us for our current rates. If you are a new customer and would like to see an example of our editing before you commit yourself we will gladly work on a sample of your document free of charge. Otherwise, we generally require payment before a corrected document is returned.
