Submission Details
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.
Service Fee
Our current fee is $45/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.
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.
