To begin, you must register and complete the following steps:

1.      Build Resume

2.      Build the Web Page

4.      In KPwriting you have to send your personal portfolio including your profile & two recent articles,

1. Resume Builder

Resume Builder forms must be completed by the new editors. The client may have very specific needs, therefore, they looking for more information. More information you supply in the Resume Builder the better your chances of landing a project that is suited to your skills and specializations. To broaden your appeal to searching clients it is to your advantage to provide as much information about your skills as an editor, proofreader, and/or writer as you can, but at the same time, you should only provide information to the extent that you feel comfortable. Some of the information from these forms relating to your skills as an editor is used on your EditFast Web page which is available to EditFast clients, search engines such as Google, and the general public.

2. Web Page Builder

Web Page Builder of the EditFast is your link to the world. Clients all around the world will be able to find your Web page using a search engine like Yahoo! or Google. Once you complete the Web Page Builder form, your profile has been activated. Yours EditFast Web page then will be available to the general public and will be found by the search engines within a month of its completion. Your personal web page serves three purposes:

1.      It acts as your public profile

2.      It brings clients and projects directly to your email inbox

3.      It acts as a doorway to the EditFast Web site attracting clients and generally improving EditFast’s exposure to the world which in turn benefits you. The more pages there are on the EditFast web site the better the chances of attracting potential clients.

3. Editing Tests

There are three editing/proofreading tests that must be completed. Each test has a separate item.

1st Test: 45 Questions & 20 min.time. Questions mainly based on spelling, punctuation & others,

2nd Test: 25 Questions & 15 min.time. Questions mainly based on adverbs, verbs & others,

3rd Test: 25 Questions & 15 min.time. Questions mainly based on sentence structure,

Once you start one of the tests, you must complete it in that one browser session. It is not compulsory to complete all three tests in one session or even in one day. You can come back at anytime and complete the tests you have not yet attempted. Your test scores are available only to you and the EditFast administration. The editing tests are mainly used as a screening tool to decide on the most appropriate editor for a project.

All clients who contact you through your personal Web page are yours. When a client clicks the Contact this editor link on the editor’s Web page, a notification that there is a message waiting is sent to the editor’s email address. The editor is then free to download the document and give the client a firm estimate. The editor is also free to decline the project. If the project is declined, the editor must contact stating the reasons for declining. For all projects the editor gets 60% of the final negotiated price. EditFast gets 40%. The client pays EditFast, and EditFast pays the editor through the editor’s Paypal account.
