INITIAL CONSULTATION

Once we receive your consultation request, we will connect with you by email, phone, or Skype to discuss your editing needs and how we can help you meet them. A cost estimate, a list of deliverables, and a completion timeline based on the preliminary work agreement will be provided to you after the initial meeting. Once we confirm the work agreement and receive your signed contract, we will get to work.

We provide our services in English. We can also provide initial consultation in Cantonese (廣東話). Please specify your language preference in your request.

We reserve the right to refuse any work that we deem inappropriate or unethical.

WE WORK WITH YOU

We are here to help you. That is why we will work with you collaboratively to ensure the edits convey your original intent. More than that, because we are also researchers, we will review your manuscript to identify any potential issues or questions that may arise during the peer review process for publication.

We will also keep you informed on how the work is progressing and make sure your questions are answered and issues addressed in a timely fashion. Once the work is completed, we will return project-related materials to you. We will provide a summary of the work completed. You can always contact us if you have questions about your manuscript or follow-up requests after the project is done.
