GENERAL PROCESS

  1. You've decided to take another step forward in your writing journey!
  2. Fill out the form found in the "Contact" tab so we can connect.
  3. I will send you a questionnaire pertaining to your requested service to get a better idea of what you're looking for, what you currently have, and how best I can help you. If you aren't sure what you need or are looking for something other than Beta reading or Editing services, I'll address this in my email reply to you.
  4. After receiving your questionnaire, I will email you to go over what I can offer you and review the reading/editing service options and process. If you would like a sample edit, this would take place now! This is also when we would discuss your expectations and goals.
  5. Once we agree it's a good match, I will send you a welcome email. The email will include instructions on how to send your work, formatting guidelines, and communication methods during the reading/editing process. You will also receive the Reading Agreement (contract) and deposit invoice, both of which must be satisfied to begin services.
  6. Services will begin once everything has been signed, paid, and received. The timeframe will vary based on the manuscript length/edits needed/etc. We will agree upon a start date, estimated timeframe, and maximum deadline before signing the contract.
  7. For editing services, you will be notified once the first pass is complete - second payment due.
  8. When the service has been completed, you will receive an email notifying you. This email will also contain your final invoice.
  9. After the final invoice has been paid and received, you will receive the final deliverables returned to you within 48 hours of your processed payment.

payment and process faq

Do you offer extended payment plans?

If you require more payments than the ones listed above or are on a tighter budget, please still reach out! I am more than happy to discuss options that may not be listed here.

Do you offer refunds?

I do not offer refunds, though I do want my clients to be satisfied and will work with you to try to come to a solution agreeable to us both should there be an issue. You are under no obligation to accept any of the edits, comments, or suggestions I make, but differing opinions do not validate a refund. During the reading/editing process, I like to stay in open communication with the author to ensure we are on the same page the entire time.
