Editorial Process
Editing begins once payment is posted. The price of most projects is determined by the word count (250 words = 1 page) and the amount of work needed. A convenient method of payment is via a simple and secure online bank transfer.
Stage 1: Initial Inquiry
To inquire about professional editing services from Brushcase Editing, the client fills out the Free Estimate form and uploads a file. An estimate form is dispatched within 24 hours.

Stage 2: Editing by Brushcase Editing
The comprehensive editing service includes a check on these components: grammar, spelling, punctuation, usage, transitions, word choice, basic fact checking, flow of writing, citations, references, tables, figures, structure and style, overall presentation, and anything else. See the Sample Edit.
Most editing projects are done using Track Changes and comment boxes in Microsoft Word. Using this format allows for the optimal level of feedback for projects such as book editing and professional thesis editing. Some freelance editing tasks like newsletter proofreading and press release proofreading are done on PDF files that are enabled for markups and comments.
Transparency is the hallmark of Brushcase Editing’s practice so that the writer can see exactly what edits are made and have the autonomy to make decisions on the precise wording based on the editor’s helpful comments and thought-provoking questions.

Stage 3: File exchanges with the author
The client receives the first round of edits to review. After responding to the queries, the client returns the file to Brushcase Editing so that the editor can incorporate the edits and send out a revised document. This file exchange usually occurs multiple times until the project is completed to the client’s satisfaction.
