About

At Proof Positive Papers, you get clear, polished writing that reflects your ideas exactly as you intend. I review your document with careful attention to detail, so your message is consistent, easy to read, and ready for your audience. Whether you’re working on a letter, report, or full-length manuscript, you can expect thoughtful editing that improves clarity and flow while preserving your voice. With nearly two decades of experience working with businesses, publishers, and authors, I bring the same level of care to every project, so you can feel confident in the final result. My pricing is straightforward: $0.0175 per word (for example, a 10,000-word document is $175). I also offer a free one- to two-page sample edit so you can see how your work will be refined before moving forward.

I am very glad to have hired Cindy Beatty to copy edit my manuscript. Her professional profile seemed to fit what I was looking for. She responded to my inquiry very quickly and got the project moving right away. She kept in touch with the status of the project and finished it in the timeframe that she quoted. She did a great job on the edits and when she was finished, she not only sent me a copy with the suggested changes but also a clean copy with the corrections completed if I chose to accept them. That saved me an enormous amount of time so that I could start focusing on the publishing process. Thank you Cindy.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is simple: $.0175/word. To begin a project, I request the first-half payment up front. The second-half payment is due when I return your manuscript and you've had a chance to review my suggestions. I accept credit card payment via Stripe.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When a prospective customer contacts me via Thumbtack, I offer a free sample edit of two-three pages, usually with a 24-hour turnaround. This gives the customer an idea of how we'll collaborate.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master of Education with a concentration in teaching English as a second language and a Bachelor of Liberal Studies in English. I am also a college-level instructor.
