STEP 1: first estimate the size of your material by
making a word count.
STEP 3: decide how best
tosubmit your work. This
will depend on many factors, including your favoured method of
writing and your deadline.
STEP 5: now you'll want a rough price for the
job. See theprice
estimatorfor a reasonable idea of the
cost. Materials will only be accepted for editing once
you and the editor are both happy with a price and a
deadline.
STEP 2: next decide onproofreading or
copy-editing. If
English is not your first language, copy-editing is probably the
best choice.
STEP 4: work out your timeframe. Do you
have a deadline? If you're submitting your material on paper
you'll need to allow time for postage and for transferring the
recommended edits to your own copy.
