Trust the Process! Here's How I Work:

1. You contact me to request a free sample edit or evaluation of your manuscript.

   • To help me get an idea of what your work is about, provide any introductory materials such as a blurb, synopsis, or query letter.

   • The sample edit is to see if I'm the right fit for you as an editor; The evaluation is to hear a general first impression and recommendations for what your manuscript needs next. 

2. I respond to your sample request. If I accept, you send me the sample as a WordDoc or GoogleDoc via email.

3. I return the sample edit or evaluation within the agreed timeframe.

4. Then, you may reach out and request a full service.

   1. Specify the medium and genre of your work, its current phase in the development process, and any other supplemental materials I may need. Send your work as a WordDoc via email.

5. I do a quick look-see and give an estimate for cost. If it is agreeable, I proceed with the service.

6. After I return the manuscript to you, you review the service materials that I provide, such as queries or a revision letter. If it is satisfactory, you send the invoice.

7. If you are interested, we can proceed with a second round to address additional layers for improvement. The process repeats beginning from step 2.

   1. Know that I charge for every round of service.

8. We can do as many rounds as will benefit your manuscript and/or fit your budget.

9. Once the manuscript is to your satisfaction and has made the most of its budget, all that's left is sending the final invoice. This is when you can request a free review (Ex. Goodreads, Amazon) once the work is published.
