Types of Work Accepted
You may submit any projects related to your professional work, including journal articles, books, edited volumes with content written by outside contributors, reports, grant proposals, and CFS materials. There’s no limit to the number of projects you’re allowed to submit in a calendar year.
Requesting a Service
When you’re ready for our assistance, please fill out the form. Within two business days, you’ll receive a confirmation email from the managing editor.
Establishing a Deadline
After we review your manuscript, we’ll give you an estimate of the time required.
We accept projects on a first-come, first-served basis, and our turnaround time for your project depends on our current project load. In general, please plan on 3–4 weeks for article editing, 2–4 months for book editing, 2–4 weeks for typesetting, and 2–4 weeks for book proofreading and indexing.
We sometimes have space in our schedule for rush jobs, so don’t hesitate to ask if we can fit in your project! We’ll try to accommodate your schedule.
Receiving the Completed Project
Once our team has finished the project, we will send you an email with the completed file attached. Files that we’ve edited will show our revision in track changes. The files may also contain comments with suggestions.
At that point, it’s time for you to go through the finished manuscript, accepting and rejecting the tracked changes. Although we are extremely careful in our edits, occasionally our suggestions may not fit your personal style or intended meaning; in these instances, please reject the changes.
Ultimately, the finished work is the responsibility of the author.
Service Fee
Our current fee is $40/hour, which is below the average fee that a freelance editor charges. If you are a faculty or staff member in Engineering, Humanities, FHSS, Religious Education, the Marriott School, or the HBLL, your unit has already agreed to pay for your use of our service. Otherwise, you can use funds in your research account or ask your department for funds to cover the cost.
