+ I will never make substantial changes to your work,
although I may suggest them; beyond grammatical and syntactical issues, I will not directly modify your work. This choice protects both you and me by ensuring all the work in your manuscript is yours. Nevertheless, to avoid being accused of plagiarism, please be transparent about having your work edited.

+ I am concerned about academic integrity and plagiarism charges,
so I will take steps to protect both of us. The Editor's Association of Canada's guide to editing theses/dissertations suggests that authors of theses and dissertations obtain written permission from their supervisors, which should include clear statements about what the editor can and cannot edit. It also offers several other guidelines, many of which I am committed to following. In addition to these general rules, certain universities have specific guidelines and requirements; check with your Thesis Office to ensure edited work is acceptable.

+ I am not a ghostwriter,
so please do not contact me with ghostwriting requests, especially for academic work. I am not a writer, and unless you are an actual ghost, I have no interest in having your name on my work.

+ I believe my work is valuable,
and that editorial work needs to be acknowledged for intellectual honesty. If you are publishing an academic article or submitting a thesis/dissertation, please acknowledge my work in a footnote, unless your institution or journal requires acknowledgement in a different format or location. For other kinds of work, as long as my name appears in such a way that it is clear I was involved in the editorial process, I have no specific requirements.
