Professional Editing and Proofreading Services

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of manuscripts do you edit?

Nothing is outside the scope of our expertise. We offer professional editing for
fiction, non-fiction, ghostwriting, biographies, screenplays, short stories, children's
stories, e-books, textbooks, manuals, and more! Regardless of the subject matter
or length of your manuscript, The Write Elements can help you polish and prepare
it for publishing.

How much does it cost?

Because every piece of writing is different, and because different documents have
varying requirements, we find it necessary to individually assess each document
as it is submitted prior to generating a quote. This is the only way to ensure the
quote we provide you with is as accurate and fair as possible. To receive a quote
for the editing of your document, simply submit a Quote Request and wait for our
response. You should receive one within a few hours of submission.

What payment options do I have?

Once you've accepted our quote we will send you an invoice that will direct you to
Paypal for secure checkout. You will then have the option to pay either by credit
card or with the funds in your Paypal account. Please note that we offer flexible
payment options for projects over 100 pages in length. Typically, half the project
cost is due up front. Upon completion/delivery of that portion of the project, we will
invoice you for the remaining half.

What type of errors will you fix?

Our editing service is comprehensive. Our experienced editors will analyze your
manuscript carefully, identifying and correcting mistakes in grammar, format,
spelling, style, sentence structure, punctuation, etc. Our goal is to help you refine
your writing so that your intended message is stated as clearly and concisely as
possible. In addition to making these crucial corrections, our editors offer
comments and suggestions where necessary to guide you in strengthening the
impact of your writing. This includes commentary and guidance regarding your
plot, character development, consistency, etc.

What method will you use when editing my work?

Our editors use the 'Track Changes' function in Microsoft Word to make revisions
and provide feedback. All completed documents are accompanied by editor
comments on anything that has arisen during the edit along with helpful tips and
suggestions.

How do I accept/remove the editor's comments/changes from my
document?

Please consult the following resources if you have questions about accepting or
removing tracked changes:

Word 2007
Word 2002/2003

What about privacy and security?

When you do business with The Write Elements, you are 100% safe and your
transaction with us is 100% confidential. Any personal information obtained by us
in the process of preparing your paper is purged from our system upon completion
of the assignment. We keep our clients' information secure from third-party
sharing and distributing.
