~~~ SERVICE DESCRIPTION ~~~

1. I'll first take a look at your document to determine what it requires: Proofreading (polishing) Before your writing is published, it needs a final review—beyond simple spellcheck. I’ll correct typos, double words (“the the,” “and and,” etc.), grammatical errors, punctuation errors, misspelled words, formatting issues, etc. I'll double-check the design elements, and if specified, I’ll also ensure that the text conforms to a style guide.

2. Select a style guide to be applied to your text:

• Associated Press Stylebook (AP 2017)

• Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS 17th ed.)

• In-house style guide (if you have one)

• New Oxford Style Manual (2016)

• Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA 6th ed.)

3. Choose American English or British English. I've worked with both, so either can be used for your specific audience.

4. Pick a platform on which you'd like me to work:

• Google Docs (using Suggestions mode if requested)

• Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (using the Comment tool)

• Print, correct, and scan (for an extra fee)
