The process:

  1. Once you have submitted your request for editing, a member of the Critical Crafting team will reach out to you to confirm the level of editing that will work best for you.

  3. When the editing is complete, you will receive a notice to review your Google doc.

    If you selected Proofreading, the editing process is finished at this point, and you are good-to-go!
