It’s important to me you feel comfortable with my process and that we both work well together. Because of this, a sample of the first 3 pages is required for the developmental & line edits option. Once I give them a read, I can more accurately determine whether I can add value to your work and whether it’s at the stage necessary to undergo the edits requested so you’re not wasting your time or money. If accepted, I’ll send back your free, edited sample so you can then best determine if we’re a good fit and whether you’d like to work together. A win for both of us!
