Frequently Asked Questions
What makes ARC Proofreading different from other proofreading services?
I'm committed to polishing your manuscript while preserving your voice. If you choose ARC Proofreading, you'll have open communication with me, your editor, throughout your project. Also, my transparent rates are better than many out there.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! Depending on your manuscript timeline and your financial situation, we can settle on an agreement where you pay for my services in installments over time.
How long will it take for you to get my project back to me?
This depends on the length of your manuscript and the service package you choose. Typically, for manuscripts less than 20,000 words, I can return your work within one week. For longer manuscripts (up to 100,000 words), I can return your work within two or three weeks. I'll give you a firm timeline if you contact me.
Do you offer expedited proofreading and editing services?
Yes! If you need your dissertation back sooner, I charge an extra 50% to cut your wait time in half. If you'd like expedited services on weekends, I ask for double the typical rate.
How do I determine which package is best for my manuscript?
If you're not sure what services you're looking for, I can briefly look over your dissertation and provide advice on which package is necessary, free of charge. Just ask when you fill out the Contact form.
Can you humanize AI-generated text?
Humanizing AI-generated text takes about twice as much effort as my typical editing services, so it's not something I generally offer. If you're interested in this service, please reach out to me directly so we can discuss your options.
