Step One – Your Initial Inquiry
Fill out my quote form to initiate the process. This tells me more about your book and your expectations for your edit. You can include a sample of your work to get a FREE sample edit. That way, you can decide if I’m right for you, and I can properly assess the timeline needed for your project.
Step Two – Proposal and Deposit
Along with your returned sample edit, I will send you a proposal with your custom quote. If you are a returning customer and you have referred anyone to me, I will include those discounts at this time.
Your edits are billed in two milestones, start and finish. A deposit of 50% is due before work starts, and the remaining 50% is due upon completion. Deposits are non-refundable. If accepted, your proposal will include an invoice for the deposit amount.
Step Three – The Exchange
The final exchange is done in two parts. I will send you a preview of both documents with a Paypal invoice. You can see these previews in my portfolio; only your preview will not be blurred.
Once the final payment is received, I will send all deliverables to you with full permissions.
If your balance is paid in full, I will mark your order complete and email you the deliverables.

Deliverables change depending on the product, but generally, they are as follows:

Step Four – Follow Up
I don’t just abandon you after you’ve paid and we’ve exchanged material. I am available to answer questions, and some services include multiple passes and collaboration. That being said, any further edits will be subject to scheduled availability.
