My style is very direct and thorough, but the piece will always retain your voice. If all you want is a reader, that's ok too. But, traditionally, I focus on line-item edits, grammar, structure, and content. There is never any pressure to work beyond your time constraints, but I will check in weekly to discuss your progress, if that is what you'd like.
