Process

Here's what you can expect from me.

Yes, I do:

Respond quickly to your inquiries
Require information about you and your project to provide estimates
Stage projects and use workplans for more accurate estimates and efficient project management
Book projects in advance (and may take short-notice projects as schedule permits)
Require deposits from new clients (typically 50% of project value) to secure my time
Work with clear, signed contracts
Appreciate online payment--speedy payment puts you in the priority queue
Work by the project OR by the hour, factoring in time for calls, emails and meetings
Work regular business hours (weekend or rush-jobs may incur extra fees)
Guarantee the quality of my work and welcome your feedback

Have a one-size-fits-all per-word or per-page rate, as editorial needs vary widely from client to client
Work on spec or through profit-sharing arrangements
Enable academic dishonesty
