Services

If you have a project you'd like The Laundromat Writer to help you clean up, please contact us! If you're just looking, you can learn about our services below.

Copy-editing
Copy-editing includes the correction of surface-level errors such as typing, spelling, and basic grammar issues. Basic fact-checking and common-sense corrections (such as noting that 2+2 does not equal 5) are also included in this service.

Editing
Comprehensive editing includes correction of typing, spelling, and basic grammar errors. It also includes re-writing, organizing, and layout/design recommendations.

Resume and Cover Letter Workshopping
For anyone looking to improve their cover letter and resume, this services is comprehensive and includes design, strategic, spelling, and grammatical suggestions. Our editors can also assist you in tailoring a general resume to the requirements of several different positions.

Drafting
Some prefer to receive one round of edits to improve their work. However, others recognize that it may take several rounds to maximize writing performance. If you are interested in working with the same editor on the same project for more than one round of editing and re-writing, please let us know and we will strive to accommodate you.

Cost
Our editors work on a per hour basis, and projects are typically charged between $20 and $30 per hour. Page length does not typically indicate how much it will cost to have your work comprehensively edited because some texts will need more attention than others. You can, however, work with your editor to plan how closely you'd like him or her to edit your work. Our editors are, however, quite experienced and therefore efficient, so it is not uncommon for projects to be completed ahead of schedule.
