Developmental editing projects are especially welcome at the DeskTop. It is not unusual for developmental projects to involve hundreds of communications and months of collaborative work. Smaller substantive editing projects receive the same exceptionally high standard of care and attention major projects receive. Clients who have smaller projects in hand are invited to contact the DeskTop to determine whether the current schedule has a short-term opening. . Quotes and Fees DeskTop project quotes always reflect fair current rates for expert professional consulting services.
Quotes are by the project or by the page, and vary with the project requirements.
E-mail requests for ballpark estimates are always welcome, but no firm quotes will be provided for unexamined projects. The DeskTop guarantees all project quotes, and thus issues quotes only upon the editor's examination of representative materials. Please contact the DeskTop for details concerning the sending of extracts and sample chapters. . Scheduling Scheduling at the DeskTop is flexible, and fast turnarounds are standard, but emergency service is not available. The author-centered consulting approach to editing demands reasonable scheduling.
