How it Works

Step One

Send me your PDF transcript file(s) by email. Please include specifics on when you need it back and any special instructions. I will confirm that I’ve received it and have everything under control!

Step Two

I will carefully proofread, making clear annotations that honor your preferences and style.

Step Three

The annotated PDF appears in your inbox by your requested deadline. You can count on me!

Step Four

You’ll receive an invoice at the beginning of the following month. Invoices are due within 15 days via Venmo, PayPal, credit card, or direct deposit. New clients will be invoiced immediately after completion of the first assignment.
