2020 Terms and Conditions

It is a client's responsibility to review the Terms and Conditions to ensure that they not only understand them, but are aware of any changes that might occur.

MANUSCRIPTS should be submitted in Times New Roman, size 12 font. If they are not, I will change them to make the editing process easier.

I DO NOT edit non-fiction books. However, I will consider non-fiction articles, website material, press releases, and other such subject matter. Any non-fiction projects I take on will incur a higher fee than fiction works. 

GENRES I prefer to work with:
  • Romance (Dark, erotic, humor, new adult, contemporary, etc.)
  • Mystery/Thriller
  • Suspense
  • Fantasy
If your genre is not listed, just ask. I am open to a wide variety of subjects.

AUTHORS are responsible for getting their books to me by the date agreed upon. If I have not received it within two days of the agreed upon date, I will move on to the next in line, unless I have an email from the author and we agree on other terms.

RUSH jobs will incur a fee dependent on length and time given to complete. The starting rate is $100, and it goes up from there.

PLEASE be aware that--with few exceptions--I am NOT a developmental editor. I am first and foremost a copy editor. This is by choice. If you have need of a developmental editor, this should come BEFORE you contact me for copy editing or proofreading. If after I start an edit I find that your book needs extensive work beyond the service selected, all work will stop and the author will be contacted. To help ensure that this doesn't happen, I ask that the author sends me a sample from the middle of the book before committing to any service.

PAYMENT is accepted in two parts: half up front, and the remainder at the end. An invoice will be sent through PayPal once upon receiving the manuscript and once when the edit is finished. I reserve the right to withhold your manuscript until final payment is made in full, upon which time it will be returned. If you choose to cancel your service once it has been started, a $100 cancellation fee will be deducted from the initial payment. If all work is completed but final payment is not made, I reserve the right to withhold the manuscript indefinitely and without return of initial payment made. No exceptions will be made unless the author has contacted me beforehand to make other payment arrangements. Because fees can be pricey, if you find the need to make payments outside of the 50/50 rule I have outlined, that can also be arranged.

CANCELLING your service will not result in any fees. However, my time is precious and limited. Please be respectful and let me know at least two weeks ahead of time if you cannot keep your appointment for any reason so that someone else may utilize that spot.


HOLIDAYS and weekends DO NOT count toward the amount of time given to edit your manuscript. Those times are spent with my family. Those days will be accounted for when given the final return date for your manuscript.


**I reserve the right to refuse any and all manuscripts at my discretion.**
