Literally Precise offers four different, very competitive, proofreading/copyediting services. These services are determined by differing levels of document revision. Listed below are the varying levels of service and the specifics covered in each level.

Level 1 (Proofreading)

Who is this service for?
Your almost-complete project has already been through some kind of external editorial process and is ready for final proofreading.
What is included?
This level of service involves a detailed word-by-word search that checks for precision in capitalization, punctuation, orthography (spelling), and typography.
Cost = $2.95 per page

Level 2 (Basic Copyediting)

Who is this service for?
Your project is in its final stages of completion, but requires some extra attention, specifically in the area of sentence structure. It also needs to be thoroughly checked for basic grammatical errors and typos.
What is included?
This level of service covers everything listed in Level 1. In addition, unnecessary repetition and effective word choice are examined. The document is also analyzed at sentence level for basic format, grammar, and structure.
Cost = $3.95 per page

Level 3 (Moderate Copyediting)

Who is this service for?
While you feel like the end of your project is in sight, it is still in need of an overall detailed review.
What is included?
This level of service covers everything listed in Levels 1 & 2. Paragraph structure and smooth transitions are considered as well. On the whole, the document is scrutinized for clarity, cohesion, and tense consistency. Format regularity, graphic suitability, and link/URL verification are also included.
Cost = $5.95 per page

Level 4 (Substantial Copyediting)

Who is this service for?
You have created and arranged most of the information that you want to include in your project, but it needs considerable review and some re-writing before it is ready to be published.
What is included?
This level of service covers everything listed in Levels 2 & 3*. The project is examined for overall conciseness, development, effectiveness, organization, and readability. The accuracy and thoroughness of the text is also checked.
Cost = $11.95 per page
* A Level 1 proofread is not included in this service. It is strongly advised that a final proofread is carried out on your project before completion. The best results will come from someone other than the copyeditor. Upon request, I can supply a proofreader at the Level 1 cost.
