HOW WE DO BUSINESS

You can either e-mail, or post your document to us. Then we will reply with a standard quote.  We will not work on your document unless you have confirmed the quote.  However, if you have a rush job please contact Mary Demetriou on 0419 567 764 during business hours.

Mary has a current certificate in Professional Editing and Proofreading, from Cengage Learning Australia (formerly known as Thomson Education, Australia) and five years experience in literacy education.

When you e-mail or post your document, please supply your name and/or company name, phone number and address and we will contact you to discuss the work.

We will consider international orders but please note that payment should made by PayPal - account name - Editing and Proofreading Australia.

You can send your documents by e-mail, Post/hard copy, disk or CD. For editing or assessment work please use Courier 12 or Times New Roman 12 point (the fancy fonts come later when the work is about to be published) and double-space the text, especially with hard copy. Soft copy (e-mail, disk or CD) should be in doc or pdf format. If there are large files they can be compressed into a zip file. Please ensure you include everything that forms part of the document: graphics, tables, illustrations, glossaries, indices etc.

If you send a hard copy please keep a copy for yourself, as we will be marking corrections in red pen.

We refer to the Style Manual for authors, editors and printers, sixth edition for grammar, punctuation and style, and the Macquarie Dictionary Fourth edition for spelling. These are both Australian standard reference books for editors and proofreaders.
