I
was elated to see how many words you were able to
trim—especially without sacrificing any content. Plus, I enjoy learning more
about editing from you and how artfully you streamlined the content and
phrasing.
—Christine M. Anderson, director of product development, Willow Creek
Association
We’ll edit in whatever
way is easiest for you. If you already have a smaller document laid out,
you can fax, FedEx, or mail the printed pages—or email an attached Adobe
Acrobat PDF file. We’ll mark up changes and return the work for you to
change in your layout software.
Usually, though, we
receive work as Microsoft Word attachments. We can use MS Word’s track
changes feature to highlight our edits. Then you can accept or reject
those changes. After all, it’s your manuscript, so you deserve the final
word.
Here’s a sample of
how we edit:
|
Original copy A simple piece of
technology is used for the field vision test. Resting your chin on a
support bar you position your head at the apparatus and look straight
ahead. You are peering into what looks like a large white saucer or bowl,
about 18 inches in diameter. On the surface of the bowl are dozens of tiny
pinholes, about 1 inch apart from each other, through which light can
pass. The machine systematically shines light behind the holes, one at a
time, covering the entire range of normal vision. Each time you see one of
the little holes light up, you press a button to register your response.
During the 2-3 minute exam, each of the little holes will light up in
random fashion, sometimes directly in front of you, sometimes far to the
left or right, top or bottom. |
