I’ve never hired an editor before, how does the process work?
Once you’ve hired me and sent the complete file, I will do a full read through to familiarize myself with the manuscript. Then a second read through will be completed where I included my recommended changes. These will be emailed for your review. Be aware, you won’t always agree with my recommendations, and that’s okay. You can accept the changes that work for you and reject the ones that don’t.
After I contact you, what happens next?
I will send an email requesting what services you are interested in, your budget and estimated deadline. You will be asked to provide a sample of your manuscript. This sample should include 10 pages from the beginning and 10 pages from the ending. Once I have received your sample, I will send you a quote outlining the estimated cost.
What if your fee and deadline don’t work for me?
There is some wiggle-room. This means that we will come to a compromise on how much work can be done within your budget and deadline. Once these are agreed upon, I will send you a contract to sign.
I’m confused about what service I need, can you help me decide?
Yes, I can! It can be confusing to try to figure out what services you really need. That’s because they have a tendency to overlap in one way or another. Just send me an email describing your project and what you are looking for, and I’ll get back to you with the best choice.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I will accept payment through Interac e-transfer, PayPal, or company cheque.
You are based in Canada, do you work with people in other countries?
Yes, I do! I have experience with not only the Canadian spelling and grammar, but also American and British. And with PayPal and Interac e-transfer, the issue of currency exchange is not a problem. All my prices are in USD.
