FAQ
How do I pay you?
Our invoices may be paid online using credit card or e-transfer (e-mail to [email protected]).
All quoted rates are in Canadian Dollars.
When do I pay you for editing services?
Once we have entered into an agreement to edit your work, and an invoice is calculated based on the word count of your manuscript, 50% of the total bill is due before work begins. Once the manuscript has been edited, you can review it and request minor changes. We will address those revisions and get your final approval; the remaining 50% payment is due at that point, and your edited manuscript will be released to you once invoice is fully paid.
