Payments:

• A down payment of 50% is due before I will begin work.

• I will send invoices via Square about two weeks before each expected payment.
• Payments can be made through Square, Venmo, or Zelle (Square is the only option for non-US payments).

Author retains all copyright. I will not share any details or information about the project with third parties.

Editing is a process of offering advice and suggestions to the author. While I will make every effort to identify mistakes in the manuscript, it is not possible to guarantee error-free content.

• Disliking or disagreeing with my suggestions are not a basis to refuse payment.
• I will never force an author to make changes they do not agree with.

Cancellation

• If I am unable to complete the project, all material and payments will be returned to the author.
• If the author chooses to cancel, I will invoice for completed work.
