Question
Hi, Dan,

Could you possibly edit my personal statment?

Looking for your reply.

Thanks,
Vivi


Answer
You did not include it. I often edit these, but I usually limit the work that I do free to one double-spaced page, 12-point type. Helping with applications to graduate school or  university is one of the things for which I usually charge a small fee. Send it to me directly at:

dan@wordsmithofaustin.com

and I'll take a look. If it is short, I'll be able to do it at no charge. If more than my maximum, there will be a small fee, and I can accept payment via PayPal. You will not be obligated until I have given you a price and we have agreed that I will do the work.
