After I receive a signed copy of the Preliminary Evaluation, I proceed to edit the full manuscript in a first pass and return it for the author’s consideration. This includes queries to the author that require his or her input. After all queries are resolved, I make a second pass through the manuscript for final revisions, following guidance by the author. 

I edit using Microsoft Word with “track changes” invoked.  After both editing passes, you will receive a Word file with all revisions visible in track changes as well as a clean Word document with all changes accepted. 

When the final version of the manuscript is returned, an invoice will be sent separately through the PayPal system. Payment is expected within 30 days.
