Question
I was wondering if you answered questions on how to proofread and correct scholarship essays? Because I am applying to a few scholarships and needed just some simple corrections and editing ideas. Alright thanks.  

Answer
Depending on how long they are and how many there are, there might be a fee. I normally limit my free editing to one double-spaced page. Also, editing something of any length is difficult in this venue because of its very limited word processing capabilities. If you have something substantial you'd like edited, please e-mail it to me at:

I'll take a look and either just edit it or give you a price. You won't be obligated until you've agreed. I generally charge students far less than I would charge commercial clients.
