We have a staff of professional editors with extensive experience. Once you have submitted your document(s) for editing, you will be directed to our administrative email address. Please type "Editing Request Submitted" in the subject line and put your name and email address in the message, and one of our staff will contact you to discuss your editing requirements and help you set up your initial payment. For editing requests of 5 or more days’ turnaround, the fee is $50 an hour. Job requests of 4 or fewer days’ turnaround are subject to an additional rush fee or may be declined.
Formatting Requirements:
Manuscript Format:
Manuscripts should be submitted as .doc, .docx, or .rtf files only; images may be submitted either as individual .jpg/.jpeg, .png, or .tif/.tiff files or in a separate .doc, .docx, .rtf, or .pdf file.
Tables and Figures:
Please do not include tables or figures within the body of your manuscript; the manuscript should contain only text. Upload any tables in a separate .doc, .docx, or .rtf file. Upload any figures (e.g., maps, graphs, diagrams, photos, etc.) separately as .jpg/.jpeg, .png, or .tif/.tiff files--or as images within a separate Word or PDF document. Indicate in the body of your manuscript where tables and figures will go, including the text for their captions (e.g., "Place Figure 2. 'Diagram of gene isolation process using xxx technology' here"). We will insert the tables and figures and format their captions.
Headings, Table of Contents, Lists of Figures/Tables, Running Head:
Please provide a separate list of the headings and subheadings used in your manuscript, indicating their levels (e.g., Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) and how you would like them to be formatted, if you know (e.g., standard APA heading formatting—see pp. 62-64 in 6th edition of APA publication manual; MLA; AMA; per department guidelines; custom; "not sure, please contact"; etc.). Do not pre-format headings, captions, or running head/pagination (though you may indicate how you would like the running head—see APA style—phrased and where you would like page number to be positioned on the page).
If you have any questions, please call our main office at (520) 621-5849 or 5848.
