Copyediting

Project details

What we need
  • Review of up to 20 pages of copy for grammar, style, tone, and consistency
  • Advice on how to write effective copy going forward
Additional details

We have an academic paper on drug policy and need it edited for spelling and grammar.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a complete manuscript, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a staff member tasked with corresponding with volunteers, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to reinvest in our website, including our podcast and our book projects.

This project will allow us to publish the document and to use excerpts from it on our blog.
