About Right Touch Editing

Founded in 2005, Right Touch Editing is a customizable editing service. You can choose from several editing levels, and I can coach you on what each level offers and what your needs might be. You can also customize the edit itself: I can follow your style to the letter, creating a project style sheet so you can easily see what kind of editorial decisions have been made — and easily change them if necessary.

Customize the pricing structure, too! These days, everyone’s on a tight budget, so I try to accommodate the pricing structure that fits your needs. My most popular structures:

• By the hour
• By the page (= 250 words)
• By the project
• By the project piece (e.g., chapter, article, etc.)

Each project is different. That’s why I ask to see a sample before I offer you a quote. I’ll edit your sample — for free — to get a feel for the project and for you to try out my service. You’ll receive a more accurate price and time quote and an idea of what an edit of your project will look like. If Right Touch Editing isn’t for you, keep the edited sample. I’ll even help you find a more suitable editor, if you wish.

It’s your project. Why not get it edited your way? Contact me today with your project needs.
