Guidelines & What to Expect

I Always Respond

Once I receive your job, I will always confirm receipt and begin the turnaround time.

Availability

I’m available weekdays and weekends. If I can’t accept a job, I’ll give notice as soon as possible and can provide trusted backup proofreaders if needed. 

File Format

I use an iPad with iAnnotate to annotate transcripts, so please send files as PDFs. If you need to convert a file to a PDF, CutePDFWriter is an easy and free option. 

Scoped Transcripts

Please ensure your transcript is fully scoped before sending it to me, so no additional fees are applied. 

Your Transcript, Your Way

Send me your preference sheet if you have one. If not, I can provide one, or I’ll annotate using standard practices to keep your transcript clear and readable.

Returning Your Transcript

  • I will send your job back at your specified deadline. 
  • I only send back pages with annotations, so you can spend less time reviewing my corrections. 
  • Feedback is always welcome!


Invoices and Payments

I bill invoices the first week of every month, with payment due within 15 days of the invoice date. Invoices are sent via the Wave app. For new and one-time job clients, billing occurs after the first job is completed. Payments can be made via PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, or credit card.  

*10% monthly late fee.*
