FAQ
How will the comments be provided?
As a OneDrive/Microsoft Word doc or PDF and a link to where the doc lives. That is for the commentary/editing/proofreading within your book or story. I will also deliver a word doc that is a separate reader's report created with Google docs.
How long have you been writing and reviewing?
Over 20 years. I started early!
Why are you charging so low? You seem to be a professional.
I am, but I am also a newbie on Fiverr so I am trying to gain a rep! You know how it goes in these freelance streets! I will likely eventually raise my rates as I get more clients, so take advantage now.
Do you use AI?
Never ever will I ever. Hate it and thinks it has no place in publishing.
What is your typical turnaround time?
Two weeks. If you need a rush job, let me know and I will see what I can do. But I take the time to make sure I am giving your work the most thorough lookover I can!
