HOW IT WORKS
1a) At the time you purchase an editing service, you will have the option to add a consultation or debrief. You can select one or the other, or both.
2a) In the "Enter your request" field on the commission form, in addition to the requirements for the Editing Service you selected, please also provide your time zone.
1b) If you opt not to book a meeting at the time of purchasing an editing service, you can still add it on at a later time by purchasing a consultation or debrief on its own.
2b) In the "Enter your request" field on the commission form, please provide the email address and name/pen name you used to submit your work, and the title of the work you submitted. Please also include your time zone.
3) You will receive an email from YEGWrites Admin ([email protected]) with details about your editor and how to contact them. Your editor will also reach out to you via email to find a date and time that works for both of you to meet. All meetings will take place over Zoom. You do not need to turn your camera on if you don't want to.
*Note that editors cannot discuss edits with you over email, only through the edits made on your file and during the editor meeting(s).
If you purchased a CONSULTATION, your editor should contact you within 3 business days to arrange a meeting. If you purchased a DEBRIEF, it may take up to 2 weeks to hear from them as they need time to make their edits before meeting with you. Please do not email your editor asking about progress, how long it will take, editing questions, etc.
CANCELLATION POLICY
If you need to cancel or change the date and/or time of your meeting, contact your editor directly. You can change/cancel your meeting up to 24 hours before the scheduled time (based on the time stamp when you sent your email, not when we received it).
It is up to your editor's discretion if they will accept a cancelled/changed meeting received with less than 24 hours’ notice. Less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to cancellation fees:
CONSULTATION: $3
DEBRIEF: $5

REVISION DEBRIEF: $4
In the case of cancellation charges, your meeting purchase will be refunded minus the cancellation fee above and you will need to purchase a new editor meeting to re-schedule.
