frequently asked questions
What is your proofreading method?
I proofread by PDF using yellow highlights and red notes.
What are your sources?
--Court Reporting: Bad Grammar/Good Punctuation
by Margie Wakeman Wells
--Morson's English Guide for Court Reporters
by Lillian I. Morson
--The Gregg Reference Manual
by William A. Sabin
--The best punctuation book, period.
by June Casagrande
--Merriam-Webster Dictionary
I'm open to proofreading with your choice of sources. I also have access to a network of fellow proofreaders to consult with if I have any tricky punctuation or grammar questions.
Does the transcript need to be scoped?
Yes, please! Transcripts that aren't fully scoped/spell checked will be charged an extra $.10/page, with prior notice.
Is there an extra fee for weekends and holidays?
Nope. I count weekends and holidays as business days, so there is no additional fee. Holidays are subject to availability and need prior approval from me.
What if you aren't available to take on a job?
I try to provide ample notice if I am not available to take a job or meet a deadline. I can recommend backup proofreaders to step in when that occurs.
Do you proofread anything else?
Absolutely! I proofread other types of transcripts, books, websites, blog and social media posts, and so forth. Contact me to discuss rates and more info.
Can I send you my own preference sheet/style guide?
Of course. The more I know about your preferences, the better I can be a reflection of you.
How do you handle different time zones?
I adjust to the time zone that you reside in. Because I live in Hawai'i, I realize that flexibility on my part is a necessity.
