Policies:

• Upon receiving your scheduled project I will contact you within 24 hours via email with questions and arrangements.


• Payment is due before the project is begun. Except under pre-arranged situations all projects are based on an hourly rate with a one hour minimum payment requirement on any job. If the assignment ends up requiring less hours than you have paid for I will cheerfully refund any part of your payment that was not used.


• I will make adjustments in the pay rate for long-term or permanent assignments.


• Paypal is my preferred method of payment, but I will accept a check through mail if that is your only way of paying.


• You will have 24 hours after completion of the project to approve or request an edit of my work. Edits requested after 24 hours will incur an additional discounted fee.


• Turn around for proofreading and editing of reports, blog posts, web pages, articles, etc. is two business days. Ebooks, print books and audio transcriptions require five business days. I usually complete all assignments in less time than those stated
  but I give myself a little leeway in case of computer downtime or other unexpected occurrences.
  
  If the project will take longer than the times stated above I will contact you by email or a Twitter Direct Message at which time you may make a decision regarding your order.
  
  Please note that I do reserve the right to change my quoted fee if during the completion of the project it proves to be more detailed than first anticipated.
  
  Once work has begun on a project there are no refunds if for any reason you choose to cancel the assignment.


• To assure my very best work and timeliness, monthly retainer clients are limited to TWO.


• All completed assignments can be tracked for time spent on them if requested.


• I will respond to all email inquiries within 24 hours of receipt unless noted on the website that I am unavailable for a certain time period.

Prices based on an hourly rate have a one hour minimum requirement on any job:

• Proofreading and Editing Reports, Blog Posts, Web Pages, Articles, Press Releases, etc. - $20/hour.   I am fast and accurate; this generally equals out to $1.00 per page.


• Proofreading and Editing Ebooks - $25/hour.   I do this one of two ways. I can just make corrections and return OR will highlight changes made, along with any necessary suggestions.   The second option takes longer, so costs you a bit more. Most new-to-me clients choose this option first and then once they know my work, have me just go ahead and do the "fixes".


• Proofreading and Editing Print Books - $30/hour - Other Duties, Such as Formatting and Getting Ready for Printer Will Require an Additional Fee
