How It Works

Step 1

You request a quote, describing your needs, desires, expectations, and preferences. I receive your request and give you a quote.

Step 2

You order services and send me your script. I read it, ask you questions (if necessary), and perform your edit.

Step 3

I return your script to you, edited. If you‘re pleased, then your order is complete. If you‘re displeased, then you tell me your concerns, I resolve them in a revision, and your order is complete.
