Guidelines
1. All projects will begin with a free evaluation to determine the fee, and the labor/time required. After receiving your full manuscript—in .doc or .docx format, Times New Roman in 12 font, double spaced, 1-inch margins, and page header with your name and manuscript title on the top left side—I'll select a random chapter or section of no more than five pages and fully edit it based on the service you requested.
2. Once the free evaluation is completed, you’ll receive a quote based on the amount of work and time required to fully edit your manuscript. If you agree to proceed, I’ll send you a letter of agreement or contract confirming the terms established and an official invoice detailing the type of service and price for the project.
3. A non-refundable 50% deposit is required before any work starts on your manuscript. Payment is accepted through PayPal. Please wait for the PayPal Invoice before making any payments. The remaining 50% must be paid upon service completion, and before the manuscript is handed back to the client.
4. Once the contract is signed by both parties and payment is confirmed, I’ll begin work on your manuscript. Any supplemental materials—synopsis, full outline, pitch letter, book blurb, setting map, character drawings—that you want to share with me are more than welcome.
5. The client can halt a project at any time with written notice (via email). No refunds will be given. Client must pay for work realized until the date of cancellation.
6. Any changes to the approximate time schedule will be notified to the client 5 days in advance or, in the case of unforeseen life events, as soon as possible.
- All edits will be based on the Chicago Manual of Style.
- All edits will be done using the comments and track changes feature in Microsoft Word.
- All work is kept in the strictest confidence, but I'm open to sign any NDAs.
