- writing: you have notes and ideas but you need help in expressing and organizing them;
- rewriting: you are not satisfied with the text you have written;
- structural editing: you are satisfied in part with what you have written but you may need help with the general structure and flow;
- copy-editing: you are completely satisfied with what you have written and its organization but you need help with one or all of the following:
- spelling
- punctuation
- grammar
- consistency and clarity in style
- consistency and clarity in format
- proofreading:
- your text has been copy-edited but needs a final check before it is released, retyped or typeset
- your text has been typeset or retyped and the proofs or retype need to be checked against the original typed, edited version.
Editing and proofreading are just two of the many editorial services offered by MNE-AESOP.

ii. Decide on the urgency of the work
Time is obviously an important factor in pricing so please check the following guidelines.
- Standard: the job goes to the end of the queue (it will then take two days for a 10-page document).
- Swift: the job will be started when we finish the next job in the queue (two days' time for a 10-page document).
- Urgent: the job will be started when we finish what we are doing (next day for a 10-page document).
- Emergency: we put aside what we are doing and switch to your job (same day for a 10-page document).
Turnaround time will be provided with the estimate.
Note: timing indicates relative speeds and the actual turnaround time may depend on the length and complexity of the task.
Specify what software platform you are using
