Please feel free to send me your document, or an extract thereof, and request a sample and estimate. If you are sending an extract, be sure to specify the total word count and nature of the document. I will read a substantial part of your document, and send back an edited sample that you can examine before commiting to my services. I will also give you a formal quote based on the word count, and the delivery date that I can commit to. All these communications are, of course, completely confidential.
The usual turnaround time for research articles is one week.
