Process
I use Google docs. I can use tracking where necessary, and I can either convert to and from Word (docx) or share the document online.
Note: I can also provide editing for a pdf; the process will vary depending upon the document.
I will begin:
with your draft, whether a personal statement, memoir, or rough article or story, OR
by posing questions that will assist you in communicating what it is you want to say, and how you want it to be said.
I will edit or write (and forward) a draft:
in full, for a short piece,
in part (one or two chapters of an ebook, for example) for a longer piece, in order to provide you a preview and allow me to gain a better understanding of the job and scope
one piece at a time, usually, if we are doing a set or series.
I will await your feedback on the draft and await your collaborative feedback.
I will then complete or revise the work and, depending upon your specific needs, bring it to a finished form.
Where appropriate and in the case of mutual agreement, we can collaborate through document-sharing on google docs, working in the same document at the same time.
