If you are a first-time client, then yes, it's really free. Gratis. No charge.

I will copyedit or content-edit one page of your writing, or give you a 30-minute consultation, at no cost to you.
Because different writers have different needs. I've worked with brilliant journalists who didn't know where to put an apostrophe, and I've worked with grammar Nazis who didn't know which end of a plot was which.

Offering both copyediting AND content editing also lets me help students who can use one service but not the other.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.
You email me your file, and I correct it, usually using "Track Changes" in Microsoft Word, then email it back. My changes usually show up in red on your page. When you get your file back, you can choose to accept or reject my changes.

If your file is a PDF or in another format, we can work out an alternate system.
When the job is done and you're satisfied with my work, I send you an e-mail invoice via PayPal. You can pay by credit card, eCheck, or PayPal transfer. I also accept regular checks--contact me for details.

I usually send out invoices every Friday, or every other Friday if it's a busy time.

If I can't find anything in your writing that needs to be corrected, I will return your writing to you and will not charge you. It's happened before.

If you hire me for content editing and your writing turns out to need only copyediting, I will charge you only for copyediting. I do not charge you for work you don't need.

You couldn't afford it.
