Frequently Asked Questions
When will my edit be started?
​
Ann's schedule is subject to change, and different times of the year can be busier than others, but normally she will be able to start your edit/critique a few weeks from the time your agreement is made.
​
How long will it take to be completed?
​
The edit or critique is usually completed about two weeks after the start date.
​
What is the payment policy?
​
Payments are made in advance, and usually Ann splits the overall cost into three payments. She accepts personal checks, cashier's or certified checks, MC/Visa, and Zelle payments.
​
Will I sign a contract?
​
You will be asked to sign a basic service agreement.
​
What can I expect once the editing process has begun?
​
Ann will send an update about halfway through the edit, but she is happy to send updates more often at the client's request.
​
What happens after the edit?
For all developmental edits and critiques, Ann will reread the parts of the book that a client has significantly changed after the edit has been completed. She asks authors to highlight new and/or changed areas as they revise. If a client wants a reread of the entire piece after their revision is complete, there is a charge, but it is less than the cost of the first edit.
