Note: Before final payment is agreed on, the client must first contact me via email to discuss the nature of the project and to negotiate terms.

It can be stressful to think about hiring a stranger to edit your work without getting to see if they're worth your money. That's why I offer to edit or proofread a portion of your work for FREE the first time we work together. Everyone feels better when they know what to expect!
Free portions work as follows for first-timers:
For essays, depending on length, the first 1-3 pages. If your essay is only one page and you're contacting me for the first time, I'll do the whole thing for free.
For creative and biographical works being edited purely for grammar, the first 4 pages.
For creative and biographical works being edited AND proofread, depending on length, the first 5 pages.
("pages" here are specifically defined as text formatted in Microsoft Word at 12-point font or greater, single-spaced or greater, including space taken up by header/footer/footnotes/etc. Please don't try to squeeze your entire essay onto two pages by switching it to 8-point font so that I'll edit the whole thing for free--it doesn't work like that.)

Payment can be done in person or mailed, and may be cash or money order. Payment must be in advance for first-time customers--building trust works both ways! In-person payment can obviously only be done in the Austin area. If you are a client who is unable to meet in person, a mailing address will be provided to you.
Meeting times are flexible and will be arranged on a per-client basis.
Rates are available on the "Services" page.
