Get Expert Editorial Support Without the Wait or a Retainer

This two-step onboarding process gives you trusted access for the next 12 months, with no repeat intake and no need to re-explain your needs.

Some projects don’t follow predictable timelines. You might not have a draft yet, but you know editing support is coming ... and you want to be ready.

Premium Access gives you a head start. It sets up a trusted editorial relationship in advance, without requiring a retainer, so you're cleared and ready when the time comes.

One setup now. No re-intake for a full year. Onboarding is $500, split into two $250 payments.

What’s included:

• One intake session (live or async) to understand your goals and workflow

• Documentation of your editorial preferences, tone, and review expectations

• We’ll also review the types of projects you’re likely to need and provide timelines and estimate ranges, so you know what to expect before your next job begins.

• Context stored for future quoting so no need to re-explain your process

• Master contract finalized now so future jobs don’t require legal back-and-forth

• For each future job, you’ll receive a single packet with estimate, contract, and invoice — ready for immediate action.

Note: Editing projects are scoped and billed separately. This service prepares the relationship. It doesn’t include editing itself.

What happens after you complete the form:

• I’ll send you a $250 invoice and onboarding contract

• Once your first payment is received, onboarding begins

• We’ll schedule your intake session (live or async)

• I’ll document your scope, preferences, and delivery needs

• When everything is finalized, the second $250 payment will complete your setup

• From that point on, you’ll be cleared for fast, judgment-rich editing with no re-intake for 12 months

25+ years of editorial experience for authors, consultants, and government professionals. No retainer required. Your onboarding is split into two parts: a $250 nonrefundable downpayment to begin, and a $250 final payment when setup is complete.

Why Get Premium Access?

Premium Access gives you:

• Faster quoting when timelines matter
• No re-onboarding needed because I already know your material
• You’ll be ready to go when your project is

• Priority intake call (30 to 60 minutes) to map your goals and likely editorial needs

• Sample or manuscript review to understand your voice, material, and typical scope

• Contract, preferences, and delivery logistics set up in advance for smoother handoffs

• Future projects receive scheduling priority as availability allows, with expectations clear

How the payment works:
$250 due today to begin your onboarding
$250 due when your contract, scope, and preferences are finalized

Work with an Editor Who’s Already Aligned When You Need Them

The hardest part of hiring an editor isn’t the editing. It’s the setup: figuring out scope, preparing files, getting contracts signed, and clarifying goals under pressure.

Premium Access clears the runway before your draft is even ready. We’ll handle intake, contract setup, and scope preferences in advance, so when it’s time to move, we’re ready. You’ll pay $250 to start and $250 once setup is complete. From then on, you’ll be fully aligned and cleared for editing, with no re-intake required for 12 months.
