Fees and Initial Consultation I offer a wide variety of services, and each project is different and unique. Therefore, on our first consultation, we will discuss your project and needs thoroughly and I will use that information to determine an estimate for your specific project. To facilitate this process, please include in your initial e-mail as detailed a description of your project and needs as possible, including a word or page count and an estimate of when you will need the project completed. Copy editing clients should send the full document to be edited. Clients with full-length manuscripts may send the first two pages (8½ x 11, double-spaced, 12 pt. font), which I will edit, at no charge, and return. This will allow me to gauge the time and effort that will be required for the project and to create your quote. It will also allow you to determine if you are comfortable with my editing style and if you would like to contract me for the job. If you are requesting a quote or more information on my other non-writing-related services, please include as much information about your needs as possible. Please go to the Contact page and fill out the form. Contract and Billing After our initial consultation, I will provide a written estimate for your writing or editing project. Estimates are valid for 30 days from the date sent or mailed. If you decide to use my services for your project, I will then send a written contract detailing the parameters of the project and payment information. Once I receive the signed contract and non-refundable 30% retainer, I will begin work. The remainder of the total fee will be due upon completion of the project. After receipt of payment, the completed project will be forwarded. Contracting and billing for other services will work similarly, but payment may be required on a per-call basis, as in the case of tutoring. Payment Methods of Payment: If you prefer to pay by verifiable check, I can send an invoice. Only clients with verified PayPal accounts may pay online, with a credit card, through PayPal. I will send an e-mail requesting payment when the project is complete. When PayPal notifies me that payment has been made, I will send the completed project. Late Payment: Payments delayed 30 days or more will result in the assessment of late fees, which will increase at 60 days. Payments delayed 90 days or more will be referred to a collection agency. |
