Small Print Terms (Literally)
When the author and editor have agreed upon a service and time
frame, a $30 deposit shall be delivered with the manuscript to the editor.
(Payable via PayPal). Editing on the
manuscript will not start until the deposit is received. The timeline (either 20 or 10 business days) will begin from the date the deposit is received.
If, within the first three chapters, the manuscript calls for
significantly heavy edits, the editor may return the manuscript to the author for initial
revision. Once the author has completed the recommended revisions and
returned the manuscript to the editor, the editor will finish editing the
manuscript. If the manuscript calls for significantly heavy revision, the
editor retains the right to return the manuscript in PDF form (as
opposed to .doc or .docx).
Once the editor has finished editing the manuscript, the editor will
notify the author. When full payment has been made, the editor will return the
edited manuscript to the author within two business days.
The editor retains the right to discontinue editing services at
any time during the editing process. In such cases the editor will inform the
author as to the reasons. The author will not be charged the full price of the
editing service. In such cases, if fifty pages or more have been edited and
returned to the author, the editor will retain the $30 deposit fee. If fifty
pages or less have been returned to the author, the $50 deposit may be
refunded.
Contact the editor with any questions or concerns about
these terms.
Any special requests or changes to these terms must be made clear
before sending the $30 deposit and manuscript to the editor. By sending
the editor the $30 deposit and the manuscript to be edited, the author accepts
these outlined terms.
