Rate
I charge US$40/hour for editing and proofreading services. Charging an hourly rate allows my fee to fairly and accurately represent the amount of work involved. I am happy to provide a no-obligation estimate in advance.
Services
Substantive editing
Documents written by authors with English as a second language often benefit from considerable changes to the language and structure. In addition to checking for linguistic errors and misspellings, I will polish the sentence phrasing and suggest sections to reword or rearrange as necessary to improve the clarity of your document. My aim is to ensure a smooth flow and appropriate tone throughout the manuscript.

Minor editing and proofreading
Even well-written manuscripts can contain grammatical errors, misspellings and typographical mistakes. Your document will be checked thoroughly for these mistakes and other inconsistencies. I will also suggest minor changes to improve clarity without substantively changing the content.

How it works
1. Email your document to editor@bremnerscientific.com (Microsoft Word format preferred). Please state whether you wish the references to be edited or not, and the name of the journal to which you intend to submit your manuscript, if known.
2. I will assess the document and email a no-obligation estimate to you within 48 hours. I will also edit the abstract (or a 300 word sample) free of charge and send this to you at the same time as a demonstration of my editing style. If you decide to proceed, simply confirm this with me by email.
3. I will normally be able to edit your document within ten days, unless it is unusually long (over 8000 words). Rush services may be requested for an additional fee. All editing will be done electronically using the track changes function in MS Word, which gives you control over whether to accept or reject each individual change. Comments will be inserted in the margin where significant changes have been made or if the original text is ambiguous. If required, I can also include a clean version of the edited text with all changes accepted. If you have questions about any of the editing, I will work with you until you are satisfied with the document.
4. Payment is due on completion and an invoice will be sent with the edited document. Secure payment can be made by debit or credit card via PayPal (you do not need to have a PayPal account).
