How do I contact you?
The best way to contact me is to book a 15 minute free consultation. Email me at draaurorachang@gmail.com.
Is an editor for everyone?
Everyone can benefit from an editor but not everyone chooses to work with one. My clients typically include graduate students who have either: received feedback from their committee to hire an editor, know they need writing help and/or receive little to no support from their committee members. They are also professors, at all levels, who are working on manuscripts and books.
Are you currently taking new clients?
My decision to take on new clients depends on my project calendar availability as well as our "fit" - I speak with each client either by phone or virtually to ensure that I can appropriately and effectively address their writing needs. I welcome all inquiries.
Can I virtually meet with you for a quick consultation?
Absolutely! I provide free 15-minute consultations over the phone, Skype, Google Hangout or FaceTime. We can discuss your immediate or future editing, coaching and academic needs. Just email me.
What will we talk about in the consultation?
It really depends on your situation but I usually ask about how you arrived to this phase of writing, how you are feeling at this point of the process, what you perceive as the strengths and weaknesses of your writing and what you expect of me as an editor. I mainly do lots of listening.
What are your rates?
See Services and Rates for more information.
What is included in your hourly rate?
For editing, my rate includes detailed copyediting, and thorough substantive content editing.
For coaching or counseling (i.e. serving as a soundboard, listening, providing compassionate feedback), my rate includes a one-hour virtual meeting.
I honor the work of each of my clients and cater to their specific needs.
What is the average time it takes to edit a dissertation?
Since each dissertation varies in length, content and quality, there is not a standardized time for completion. However, it can take as little as 8 hours and up to 20+ hours.
Why should I choose you as my editor?
There are a handful of reasons why I stand out as an editor:
(1) I genuinely care about my clients as people and as writers.
(2) I have lived through the doctoral student experience and am currently living the assistant professor experience, specifically as a woman of color.
(3) I have a very successful record of publications.
(4) I am efficient, detail-oriented and thorough.
(5) I provide an estimate and honor it, even if I go beyond my estimated hours - no surprise fees. If I go below my estimated hours, the final balance will reflect that.
