Work Sample

The following sample is typical of a fairly lightly edited piece, so you may see my approach to the process for work similar to your own.

The format in which I return edited work is outlined in each instance as:

• the originally submitted piece
• the edited work, including all tracking markup
• the 'clean' copy, which is the marked up piece, with all tracking 'accepted,' so it's more easily readable by the author.

Example

Submitted piece:

In 1981, construction of the four-unit nuclear power plant in Mochovce (now in the Czech Republic) was commenced, using VVER 440/213 reactor units. With regard to conceptually non-clarified questions of the automatic control of production processes and nuclear safety, the completion of Unit 1, which was originally planned for 1985, has been gradually postponed and the completion process was not finished in time. Construction of Unit 1 and Unit 2 was completed in 1998, in 2000 respectively. A further two units were originally envisaged on the site. Work on Units 3 and 4 was started in 1986 and halted in 1992. These units remain partly built and have been maintained.

Edited piece:

In 1981, construction of the four-unit nuclear power plant in Mochovce (now in the Czech Republic) was begun, using VVER 440/213 reactor units. With regard to conceptually unclear questions regarding the automatic control of production processes and nuclear safety, completion of Unit 1 (originally planned for 1985), was continually postponed and not finished on schedule. Construction of Units 1 and Unit 2 was completed in 1998 and 2000, respectively. A further two units were originally planned on the site. Work on Units 3 and 4 was begun in 1986 and halted in 1992. These units remain partially built and have been maintained.

Clean edited, with all tracked changes accepted:

Send me a typical paragraph for a test-edit. Attach a word document to an e-mail and please include an estimate of the length of the work, as well as an estimated due-date. You can generally expect a reply within 24 hours.
