Frequently Asked Questions
What is your process like?
We’ll start with a free sample edit, so we can both determine whether we’re a good fit. I’ll return the sample edit with my availability and answer any questions you have. Once you decide to move forward, I’ll send you a clearly worded contract that lays out the expectations and timeline for the project, and we’ll both sign it. I ask for a $100 deposit to hold your spot on my calendar.
Before the start date, you’ll send me the full manuscript and pay the first 50% of the project price (minus the deposit). I’ll get started on the edits, and I’ll send you an email when I’m about halfway done to let you know how it’s going. On or before the due date, I’ll send you the completed edits and all deliverables, along with the invoice for the final 50% of the project price. I’m available to answer any questions through email before, during, and after the project.
How are payments made?
I’ll send you a Paypal invoice for each payment, so you can pay using most electronic payment options. (You don’t need to have a Paypal account.)
Do you have payment plans?
Yes! Let me know if you’re hoping to space out your payments a little more, and we’ll tailor a payment plan that will work for both of us.
How long does it take?
I normally set the due date 4 weeks after the start date. I’ll let you know ahead of time if your project requires more time, which could happen if you have a high word count or a more intense edit like a developmental edit or a line/copy edit combo.
What genres do you edit?
I specialize in working with romance and fantasy of all varieties. I love working with dark romance, paranormal romance, and dark fantasy. I also love branching out into horror, erotica, science fiction, and YA fantasy or romance. I do not edit nonfiction, memoir, or Christian romance. Feel free to reach out if you’re not sure whether I’m a good fit for your book!
