How quickly can I get my paper edited?

You may request a date and you will get an answer via email if this is possible. It depends on the volume of manuscripts in queue and the length of your paper. I edit many papers within a week.

How can I see the recommended edits and comments?

Black Cat Editing uses the Track Changes tools in MS Word to show you what has been edited. This allows you to accept or reject each edit.

I use the track changes feature in MS Word. I also insert comments which will show up on the page margins. You can accept or reject any changes made.

How do I sign up for PayPal?

How soon can you start working on my manuscript once I send it to you?

I can start working on your manuscript as soon as payment is received through PayPal. The date your manuscript will be returned to you will be specified in your emailed quote.

Can you provide suggestions for the content of my paper?

Yes! If the manuscript content falls within my areas of expertise, I provide a professional review of your paper. This includes an assessment of its strengths and weaknesses. Your review may also include suggestions for additional references, alternative interpretations of your results, theories for grounding your work, and more.

I can't afford your service for my whole paper. Suggestions?

Yes! Choose the section of your paper you think you need the most help with and I will focus on that. Alternatively, you can send one section (or chapter) at a time so the fee is spread out and more affordable for you over time.

Can I get a refund if I am not happy with the editing?

English is not my first language. Can you help?

No. Payment is due before services are rendered. However, I aim to please. Provide feedback about the service and I will try to ameliorate any concerns.

Yes! I am a native English speaker, trained and experienced in working with English Language Learners. I will make comments in your text that will help you to learn and improve upon your English language skills. I do not, however, provide translation services.

Black Cat Editing assists non-native English speakers to make their writing clear and free of grammatical errors in English.

What about confidentiality?

Is Black Cat Editing affiliated with any publishers?

Any documents uploaded (i.e., abstracts, original written work, draft papers) will be used for the purpose of editing and reviewing your work only and will never be shared with a third party.

Although I am an accomplished researcher and writer, Black Cat Editing is not affiliated with any publishers (i.e., Elsevier, Taylor & Francis). Editing and review by Black Cat Editing will not guarantee acceptance to any conferences, journal publications, venue, or outlet. Even my advertised past successes do not guarantee future success with your work.
