Rates are explained in detail here. How do I submit? You can email a Word document or send a hard copy by U.S. Mail. The submission process is explained in detail here. How do I make payments? When paying online, payments are made through PayPal (which will accept all major credit cards). You can also send a check or money order. The payment process is explained in detail here. What is your turnaround time? Generally 2-4 days on smaller projects. Longer pieces would obviously require more time. You will be informed of the estimated turnaround time upon initial submission. I'm a good writer. Why do I need an editor? Any writer can benefit from the services of an editor. If you spent a lot of time working on your written project, sometimes it's difficult to get perspective on your writing, and the eye of an objective outside reader can help streamline and clarify your points. Or perhaps you weren't able to spend as much time on your project as you wanted; an editor can catch some problems or mistakes you may have missed. (By the way, I practice what I preach: I used an outside editor to check the text content of this site!) English is my second language. Can you help? Definitely. I have worked on many ESL assignments. Having your paper edited not only improves its readability, but also helps non-native speakers learn proper written English. Will you do research for me? Sometimes we'll perform a quick fact check on Google or Wikipedia; aside from that, the research is up to you! Can I pay you to write my paper for me? Nope. Writing the paper is your job. Can I buy a paper from you? Nope. Not gonna happen. What does Check Your Work do with my submissions and other personal information? We will hold all submitted work on file indefinitely as a safety copy. All transactions are confidential; we never disclose or sell your submitted work or your personal/contact/payment information.
