How do you find your editors?
We acquire editors through an online testing process. We also run a background check to verify the editor is really who he or she claims to be.
Read moreIs there a minimum order size/number of words per job?
Yes, we do have a minimum order size of 300 words. If you have several smaller jobs, you should consider putting them in the same document. That said, there’s no minimum words per job (we get short emails, for example).
Read moreWhy is my price per word higher than the one shown on your pricing page?
Some of our add-on services will increase your price per word. Setting an editor team or having a house style will both increase your price per word by 10%. Selecting the rewrite option will increase the price per word by 100%. You can select/deselect the house style and rewrite options when you order to decrease the price per word.
Read moreWrong word count? According to my spell check my article contains 417 words, which is 21 words less than what your system counted.
We use the TIKA word counter for files with different formats like DOC, PDF, DOCX, PPT, etc. In general we deem a 5% variation as acceptable.
Read moreHow do you count the number of words for charging? I have a document that has many ‘screenshots’, which are actually copy/pasted text output from a software program. These do not need any proofreading, but I think they make up ~4000 words in my paper according to MS Word.
We count all words, so perhaps you could convert the screenshots into pictures or simply cut them out if you’re sure they are consistent.
