Copy Edit an Academic Article April 2016

$30-250 USD

Completed
Posted almost 8 years ago

$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I need someone to copy edit an academic article prior to submission to an economics journal. The text of the article is approximately 13K words. The copyediting needs to be more than just noting where a comma is missing. On top of correcting any pure grammatical mistakes, sentences may need to be restructured to sound intelligent. The structure of the paper is fine and the paragraphs are all in the right places. I am a native english speaker and use American english conventions. My coauthors are also fluent english speakers with PhDs from English speaking countries. The article will be provided in an MS Word file and is ready for copy editing. Ideally, the file would be returned with all of the needed corrections made in the paper within two days and using track changes. Obviously, there will be some corrections that will go awry because it is unclear what is meant in the original text or because of the technical features that are unique to the economics discipline. The file will need to be returned in MS Word format by Ideally, I would get the file back in 48 hours. This article is original scholarship and should not be shared with others or posted in other places. My coauthors and I will retain any and all copyrights to the article, as it is our intellectual property.

To whom it may concern: If you hire me, you can be sure your article will be viewed with a professional eye. Having worked as a college English instructor for 13 years and a news writer/editor for 10, writing and editing articles and essays has been part and parcel to a large portion of my adult life. I know the value of producing a clean document in a timely manner. On the downside, with my present workload, I can't start the project until Monday at the earliest. If you have any questions, contact me via the messaging system.

Did I hear you say economic journal? Economics has a lot of registers which only professionals use and can use. In editing a job of this magnitude, care is to be given that it is given to an experienced writer like Dextrouswriter who has both Degree and Masters in the field. I will not only restructure the words grammatically but straighten the theories were they are having issues.

Hello there! I am Lori, An MD very familiar with journal articles, and a writer, and editor for 25+ years. What you are looking for is a Line Editor- the development is in place, and you don't want a simple copy edit/proofing. You want someone to look at the verbage, word syntax, order, and flow so that your message is clear and no questions remain as to what you are trying to make an impact on. Does that make sense? Anyone can put in commas and fix t"hey" to "them," but you need the gestalt of a line editor to make sure you are achieving your goal with the best language and message possible. I can do that! And fix all the commas, too. I don't bid for peanuts, but line editing these days, FYI, goes for about 7.50 for 250 words on the cheap end. So, it is still a STEAL of a deal, and in 48 hours, Snappy!!!!!!!!!! I will send the doc back 1/2 done with edit markup- so I usually request milestones around this. Please keep me in mind, I am in the mountains, it is snowing, and I am all caught up! Thanks! Lori

Hello there! If you will look at my reviews and portfolio, you will know that academic standard and high-intensity editing is what I do best. Ideally this piece of work would take 3 days, and that is what I have quoted. However, if you would like a faster turnaround, I will have to quote a higher price- $200 in 48 hours, my time. Since your time is way ahead of IST, the timeline will be according to IST, else I miss out on a few hours. Rest assured, your work will be in safe and capable hands. Regards Amita

Hello, I think that I would be suited to this position due to my past and current experience in Editing and proofreading. I have two styles of Editing. One where I directly Edit your document, and another where I take notes for you to work with. The latter means that the document remains completely your own. If the latter is chosen, I return my notes to you, you work with those notes and return the updated document to me, I take more notes, etc, etc, etc, until we are both happy that the document is to the desired standard. You can view an example of the second style of Editing within my Portfolio. My most recent Reviews are from a three page essay Edit that I did with standard style in less than an hour and a thirty-seven page academic proposal Edit in one day. Both were with the no-notes style. I am fast and efficient and prefer to work directly with my clients while both of us are online for efficiency, but am able to work alone if necessary. I hope that you will consider working with me. Thank you for considering my application.
