Q: I'm a student - are there any discounts for me? I don't have a lot of out-of-pocket money.
A: Yes, I do offer students a discount. Please contact me for full information on student discounts!

Q: When do I get my work back?
A: I edit pieces in the order they arrive, so make sure you allow processing time on your piece before you need it returned. If you are concerned about time, you can request a time estimate on your piece. Generally, the turn-around time is one or two business days from the time I receive your piece.
Also, keep in mind that you will not receive your edited piece until I receive your payment.  See the Rates page for more information on payment.

Q: Do you do rush edits? In other words, if I need my piece back ASAP, can you do my edits right away?
A: Yes. I can do rush edits (or "in a hurry edits" as one person said). Email me for details.

Q: Do you prefer electronic or mail submissions?
A: Either one is fine. Electronic submissions will be processed faster, simply because I receive them faster.

Q: Can you email my completed piece back to me?
A: Yes, I can! When you submit electronically, I do your edits on Microsoft Word with "Track Changes." I'll email your file back to you, and you'll be able to see all of your edits through Microsoft Word. Choose to accept only the ones you like or accept all changes at once. I will include instructions on using Track Changes for anyone who has not used it before--don't worry, it's very easy.

Q: What are the differences between "hard" edits and "electronic" edits?
A: "Hard" edits are basically standard editing. In other words, I get your piece and write all over it! Hard-copy edits are the stereotypical "red pen" edits. You will receive hard edits when you submit through the mail.

"Electronic" edits occur when (you guessed it) your piece is edited electronically. All electronic edits are done in Microsoft Word with "Track Changes."  Track Changes is a great feature: it lets you see exactly what I've changed--and you can either accept one edit at a time as you see fit, or you can accept all changes at once. Pretty nifty, right?

If you want, you can receive hard edits when you submit electronically--just let me know. I'll print your piece, write on it, and mail it back to you. Keep in mind that you will receive a printing fee for this option.

Any questions about editing types? Email me and let me know!

Q: Where are you located?
A: If you are submitting through the mail, you can request my mailing address. Work is accepted from across the country.

Q: Will you edit screenplays?
A: Yes, I will edit screenplays/scripts, but I will NOT edit for format/style.  Formatting (margin sizes, spacing, etc) varies too greatly from institute to institute for me to adequately tackle this obstacle.

Q: How can I link to your site?
A: I have several banners available for your use.  Please click here to view them.  Always link back to the main page, www.grammar-bites.com.
