  • Questions?

    I’m happy to do a free review of a sample of your document, so you will be able to see how I work. (no more than 1,500 words, please!)

    If you’re not sure what type of editing you need, a sample can also give me an idea of your writing style and level, and I can recommend what would be of benefit to you.

    Consultations are available, based on an hourly rate.

    Contact me with details of what you would like to discuss, and I’ll set you up with a time and quote.

  • Estimated Turnaround Times

    I know you don’t want to hear this, but it depends.

    Send me the details of your project and I’ll give you an estimate of how long it will take me.

  • Methods of Payment

    Payments are processed through Stripe, which will allow you to choose from many credit card or banking options. Canadian residents also have the option to use Interact E-transfer.

    Please contact me if you have any questions, or refer to the How I work section of this website.
