The Short Version

You, the author, agree to pay the per-word rate for the editing service you’ve selected.

You can pay half up-front, and we’ll send funds to your editor immediately so they can get started.

About halfway through the process, the editor will send you the work they’ve done so far to make sure they are on the right track and you are happy with the level of editing (this “half-way” point will vary depending on the editing package).

Once you’ve approved, we’ll send an invoice for the remaining half of payment so your editor can keep working.

We don’t allow authors to leave dissatisfied.

If you’re unhappy with the editing or your editor for any reason, please contact us (Tammy and Derek) and let us know.

We’ll either assign a new editor, or edit your book personally, or refund you completely, or throw in a whole bunch of book publishing and marketing extras.
