FAQ
Are you willing to make adjustments in the document?
Yes, but this is a gig extra and this is not a full professional edit so I cannot guarantee that I will catch everything, but I will do my best. Also you must submit a Word document or a Google Doc link and not a pdf.
I have a specific concern, can you focus on specific requests?
Yes, just inform me when subitting the order and I'll make sure to pay special attention to your requested concern and I'll give you feedback specific to that area as well as other areas.
Will you post reviews on other sites?
I will not, please do not ask me, this can be in violation of Fiverr and other sites.
What if my document is over 50,000 words?
Just message me with the word count and ask for a custom offer.
Do you provide any editing services for novels?
I can do some light editing where instead of pointing out areas of concerns I correct them, you can select this in the package, if you want a more in depth edit message me and we could discuss if that would be possible as well as cost.
Do you work with nonfiction manuscripts, and what can I expect?
Yes, I work with nonfiction works, offering content review, structure enhancement, and ensuring clear, impactful communication.
Can you customize your services to meet my specific needs?
Absolutely! I'm open to customizing my services to suit your unique requirements. Feel free to discuss your specific needs, and I'll do my best to accommodate them.
How do you ensure the confidentiality of my work?
Rest assured that your work is safe with me. I take client confidentiality seriously and will never share your content with anyone else. Your intellectual property is fully protected
What is included in the Zoom call gig extra?
A 20-minute Zoom call through Fiverr to have a discussion about your work, my feedback, or next steps. Sometimes a face-to-face can be helpful.
Do you work on an hourly basis?
Yes, for ongoing projects I am willing to discuss hourly rates.
