1. You get in touch with me either by phone, email or fill in the online form. Let me know your idea and where you want to go with it. If you have a deadline in mind, let me know what it is. If it is urgent definitely let me know so I can check my schedule.
2. You can send me a 1000 word section as a trial edit to see if my style suits you.
3. If you're happy to proceed, you can email your whole manuscript in MS WORD to mandy@thebluepencilediting.com
4. If it is, I will email a fee confirmation and my best estimate for a finish date.
5. If you're happy with these, let me know.
6. 10% of the fee is payable upfront with the balance on delivery of the edited manuscript. Your invoice will include payment instructions.
