Discounted Student Rates

To qualify for student rates, you must be a matriculated student at a nationally or regionally accredited university or college. For manuscripts with multiple authors, a student must be the first and lead author on the paper. I offer other discounts to clients on a case by case basis. Discounted services may be offered to clients due to an inability to pay standard prices or other special circumstances. If you are unsure whether you qualify for a discounted rate, please contact me and I will answer your questions.

Invoicing

Monthly invoices are sent by e-mail no later than the 5th of the month to those clients who used my services in the previous month. Payments are due by the 20th of the month.

Track Changes

The Track Changes feature of Microsoft Word is an excellent tool for seeing where someone has edited a document. Unfortunately, I cannot edit manuscripts with the Track Changes feature turned on because the document becomes too cluttered. However, you can create your own Tracked Changes document using Word’s Compare feature. Using the Compare feature, you can compare the original with the edited document; Microsoft Word automatically creates a third document that reveals all of the changes as if the Track Changes feature were used during editing. To help you use this feature, I have written an article about how to do this. Click here to learn how to use Word’s Compare feature.
