The world is full of scammers today, so don’t get caught. Here are some questions you should ask to make sure you are contracting to a professional proofreader/editor, so you won’t lose your money or have to pay double because your proofreader does half the job.
- How long have they been editing?
- Are they accredited by the Oasis Editors platform?
- Do they have a website? and if so, does it look professional?
- Do they offer ‘tracking; as a benefit?
- Do they have testimonials in their website?
- If they seem a bit “fishy”, it’s a good idea to check their record on ‘Hello Peter’.
- Do they pay attention to issues like the author’s unique ‘voice’, syntax’, active and passive voice etc?
- Do they offer a double-edit at no extra cost?
- Do they offer a range of services such as cover design, ebook design and layout, and copy editing as a standard service, instead of just proofreading?
- Will they be able to ‘get under the skin’ of your writing?
- Do they respond promptly to your quote requests on a user friendly quote form?
- Do they do a sufficiently thorough job of proofreading and editing so as to prevent a risk of plagiarism?
