Format Options
My preferred format is Microsoft Word, but I can also work in PDF or Google Docs. Depending on your preference, I offer two delivery options:
1. Track Changes Document – I will proofread/edit your file using Track Changes (or the closest equivalent in PDF/Docs). You’ll receive a marked-up version showing all edits, allowing you to review and decide whether to accept or reject each change.
2. Finalized Document – I will proofread/edit your file and return a clean, ready-to-use version with all edits already incorporated.
