Payment Guidelines

Prepayment of services is expected upon submission of manuscript for editing, in the full amount as agreed upon in the initial estimate. Any additional unforeseen costs will be discussed with the writer/author and agreed upon before additional work is performed.

Payment may be in the form of check or money order, made payable to MAG Editorial Services. In cases where payments (personal checks) have been returned (non-sufficient funds), no further services will be performed and any work performed will not be returned until payment in full has been received. In addition, only certified checks or money orders will be accepted on those accounts for future payments. I regret that, at this time, I am unable to accept payments via credit card.

As a writer, I understand the financial problems that may accompany such an autonomous career. Therefore, writers/authors may submit portions of their manuscript for editing. I have worked with clients before who only submit the first twenty-five or fifty pages of their work at a time. Once those sections have been edited and returned, they send in the next section, with payment, for editing.

Accounts where payments have not been honored for services performed, and which are more than thirty (30) days old, will be considered delinquent. No work will be performed on delinquent accounts, and no work performed shall be returned until payment in full has been received. Accounts over thirty (30) days old will be charged a finance charge of 1.5% per month (18% per annum), based on the outstanding balance due, and compounded monthly. Accounts over ninety (90) days old will be turned in to collection agencies for payment, including any accumulated finance charges. In cases where payments (personal checks) have been returned, only certified checks or money orders will be accepted on those accounts.
