The NancyProofed Process
With NancyProofed, you receive uncompromising quality and accuracy, prompt and timely service, expertise working with busy professionals, and personal attention from me through every step of the process. Here’s how it works:
1: Request a Free Quote
Email me at me@nancyproofed.com and describe your project (genre, document format, word count, etc.) and identify your deadline for completion and delivery. If possible send a sample from the middle of your document (e.g., page 142 of 10,608) for me to review. I will contact you if additional details are needed to create the quote.
Upon receipt, I will review and analyze your file and its contents, prepare a cost estimate (quote) and deadline commitment for your review and approval, and send it to you by return email. You may contact me@nancyproofed.com to discuss any deadline considerations and explore possible accommodations.
3: Deliver Completed File
On or before the approved deadline, I will return your file by email with the track changes feature enabled. This feature uses colored type, strike throughs, inserts, underlining, and comments to clearly identify my recommended edits. Using a “right click,” you can go through the entire document and easily accept or reject the changes and make any recommended revisions as you see fit.
The balance is payable when I deliver the final product. You will receive an invoice at the completion of the project, and all payments can be made by check or Zelle.
2: Proofread and Edit
If you approve the estimate and deadline commitment, I will send you a letter of agreement. I require 50% upfront payment with the signed agreement to begin the project. The balance is payable when I deliver the final product and your invoice. I accept checks and Zelle payments.
The preferred document format is Microsoft Word, and I use the “track changes” feature to highlight errors, mark insertions and deletions, and add comments and suggestions where appropriate. If you prefer, I can also annotate PDF files to fix errors and add comments using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
4: Project Follow-Up
If you have any questions regarding my changes, insertions, deletions, or suggestions, please email me@nancyproofed.com for a more detailed explanation of my proposed edits.
I welcome your feedback on my services and your experience as a NancyProofed customer. If you are thoroughly delighted and willing to share your experience with others, I will gladly accept your written testimonial to display on my website!
I appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again.
