Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What do editors do?
“They serve as a bridge between the writer and the audience; they also act as the reader's advocate. Whatever changes an editor makes should be defensible, not arbitrary, and should improve the piece – make it more coherent, more tightly organized, easier to understand and assimilate, and more pleasing to the ear. In making all these changes, the editor should not lose sight of the fact that he or she is a facilitator, that the work belongs to the writer, that there are often no hard and fast rules to fall back on.”
– The New York Public Library Writer's Guide to Style and Usage
How long does it take to edit an article or flyer?
It often takes as little as one hour to copy edit or proofread a short document – a worthwhile investment to make before printing hundreds, or even thousands, of copies.
How does Veronica Schami Editorial Services quote on projects?
The type of service required determines how we establish a quote – copy editing and proofreading services are quoted on by the hour or by the project; translation is generally quoted on by the word. Several factors are taken into consideration:
- Media, genre and degree of specialization (technical vs. non-technical)
- Length of the document
- Timeline
