Editing and proofreading can take a variety of forms. The Portable Scribe offers the following services in this area:

  • Proofreading Legal Transcripts
With decades of experience transcribing audio in true verbatim , Jill can easily handle the challenges associated with turning unfiltered speech -- including poor grammar, run-on sentences and interruptions
-- into readable text. 

Price:  60 cents per page, regular turnaround time (2-3 days), 75 cents per page, 24-hour turnaround 


  • Copy Editing
Jill has written prose in a variety of contexts -- from newspaper articles to grants to academic papers.    She will smooth out choppy sentences, tighten run-on sentences or reorder your words for more clear and convincing copy. Her broad background in academia and as a journalist make her well-equipped to handle technical terms in a wide variety of fields. 

Price:  $40 per hour. 


  • Document Reorganization
Document reorganization is a step above copy editing. Jill will assist you to assemble the elements of a lengthy document, such as an oral history transcript, into a coherent narrative. She is experienced at grouping a jumble of information by sequence or theme and then trimming repetitive parts to create a more seamless narrative.

Price:  $50 per hour.
