FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS

Questions Asked Before Starting

What if the structure needs a lot of work?

The structural edit process exists for this reason. Needing significant structural work is normal and expected. It's a sign for the right approach.

Will this still sound like me after editing?

Yes. Line and voice edit process is built specifically to sharpen your voice, not replace it with a generic editorial tone — the coaching calls exist in part to confirm this together as we go.

How many rounds do I get?

Two structured revision rounds are included, with coaching calls in between to align on direction before the second round begins.

What if my draft only needs a light copyedit, not a full structural pass?

The draft audit will tell us that early. If your material only needs a lighter proofreading pass rather than the full Refinement process, we'll say so directly and scope accordingly.

What determines the final price above $997?

Final investment scales with manuscript length and the condition of the existing draft — this is confirmed after the initial audit, before you commit to the full engagement.
