Services...

 

Writing:
Writing is provided on a case-by-case basis. Please contact me to discuss the project.

Re-writing Assistance:
Re-writing assistance is provided on a case-by-case basis. Project manuscripts that are almost complete, but don't look quite right...I can re-write.
Please inquire about my writing services by contacting me by e-mail at
A Better Word.com

Copy Editing:
This includes checking for spelling, punctuation, grammar,
capitalization, word usage, consistency in word usage and spelling, word breaks and format. This service includes comments to the author about ambiguous copy or questions for clarification.

Consulting Services:
We do not have all the answers. Sometimes we will pass
questions to one of
our associates, or recommend another
source to the author. This, of course, is normally a service with no fee.
If extensive research is involved, we will quote a fee before starting.

Procedures:

All the editing work is completed in MS Word. An attached MS Word file
is to be sent by the author by e-mail to the editor at A Better Word.com. Also, a 'Questionnaire Input Information' form must be filled out and sent.
After the initial payment, has been confirmed, the editor
will acknowledge the receipt of the file and payment.

The work will be performed in a second copy of the
MS Word file with all the editing
red/blue line markups and
underlines. The file will then be saved to a third corrected file.
All three files will be returned to the author after the final payment
as been confirmed.

Policies:

In editing, I read the material through once, and then a second time,
so I can ensure the consistency of style and word usage
from the beginning to the end of the material.

If the material from the writer is unacceptable or unworkable or
is deemed objectional in content for any reason, I reserve the right to return the project files and return the deposit.

All material and information sent to A Better Word.com is confidential and will not be passed on to anyone other than the editor and/or associates who
will directly work on the material.

All changes or additions to the copy beyond the original files, made by the writer, will be billed at an hourly rate. Corrections that must be made
because of our error will not be billed.

A Better Word.com is only responsible for the editing services and is not responsible for the content's accuracy or intent.

The writer is responsible for reading the 'How to Submit' page of this site.

The writer is responsible for filling out and submitting a 'Questionnaire Input Information' form with each project.
