Since I offer quite a few discounts and affordable payment options to support writers, I request 30% (rather than typical 50-100%) payment upfront to secure your spot and protect my time.
This helps me prioritise clients who are ready to take this step in their author journeys, and honour your requested service and any deadlines you have.
The deposit is non-refundable. However, if you change your mind about working with me, no further payments are required if no work has been started during our mutually agreed timeline. -
If the service you need is not listed in my offering but you’d love to work with me on something in particular, please get in touch and select ‘custom requests’ in the contact form! I’m more than happy to help you if I have the skills and expertise—otherwise, I’ll see if I can point you to someone better suited.

No, I work with authors from any country! My only requirement is that your manuscript is in English.
