Editing
I practice a very intrusive form of editing -- far beyond the "language correction" that some might expect. If I don't understand what something means, I'll ask you. If something doesn't make sense (to me), I'll tell you. If you've already said something and then repeat yourself, I won't edit further but -- working directly in the file (as I do now exclusively) -- I will delete it myself, while making a note so you'll know what happened). If I see ways that your text can be written better, I'll do that.
Intrusive --
be forewarned!
This pre-editing memo describes in some detail how I work -- so you'll be forewarned!
How long will editing take?
Rate:
1000 SEK/hour including all taxes.
Read and apply
my Stylebook tips!
I strongly recommend reading my Stylebook and using its tips to improve your writing before giving it to me. That will save my time (which I appreciate) and your funds. It's focused on economics but much of it is more widely applicable.
To understand my notation and general approach, please read this before working with my suggestions.
To Do Before Editing:
Format for
editing convenience!
I request attention to formatting and other details before I work on a paper. My requests are here.
Please answer these questions AFTER working thoroughly through all the suggestions, comments, and questions I provided on your paper.
