The editing was of a very high quality. It went beyond the mechanics of grammar and punctuation to grasp the deeper meanings and philosophical ideas which were being communicated. By shining a light on inconsistencies and offering solutions for revision, the editor was able to transform the work from average to excellent. Heartfelt thanks also for timely response and professionalism.

Any disagreements that I had with Sangeeta's suggestions and commentary of my edited manuscript were easily dwarfed by her great customer service skills. She is a very accommodating freelancer, even reaching out to me offing additional guidance and advice after she had returned my edited book. Such behavior will be appreciated by any author, especially a debut one such as myself.

Sangeeta was professional, flexible, amd provides a high-quality service. Sangeeta edited my Dissertation, and her experience with editing academic writing was highly appreciated.

Sangeeta is a consummate professional, and a friendly partner to boot. I worked with her on my manuscript, which she read promptly. She gave respectful and pointed advice, and made wise suggestions for cuts. As a writer, I am often self-conscious about my work, so I was particularly appreciative of her willingness to act a quasi-coach, which helped me to gain the confidence I needed to make a submission to a publisher. In short, she encouraged me as well as edited my work professionally. Without hesitation, I would hire her again for another project.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  Pricing depends on the total word count of the manuscript, thesis, or dissertation. The basic proofreading price structure is: 10,000 words or less is four cents per word (word count x .04 cents) Over 10,000 words is two and a a half cents per word (word count x .025 cents) All developmental editing is calculated at $35 per 600 words. This includes some iterations, all phone calls, and emails if requested. No extra charge for conversing via text, email, or by phone. Most good ideas start and end with a chat :-) I have a separate fee structure for those who require only formatting. Other services and combinations of services are also offered at a separate price. Just ask, I can probably able to accommodate your editing needs.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  I begin by either talking to a new client or exchanging emails so I know exactly what the client is hoping to get out of my services. I then ask them to email to me their manuscripts for editing. Through frequent and regular contact, I keep the client updated of changes and suggestions throughout the process.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I have a MA in Philosophy from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and a MA in Political Science from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. I taught (and still continue to teach) at colleges and universities for over 10 years. I have been a mentor to both students as well as junior faculty helping them hone and publish their research projects as well as offering them academic support and assistance.
