Summary
FAQs
How long does it take to write a full manuscript?
Depends on the length and complexity, but typically 3-5 weeks for a 70,000 -100,000 word novel. We'll establish a realistic timeline during our initial consultation based on your outline and deadline needs.
What if I don't like what you've written?
Then we fix it. That's what revisions are for. You get feedback rounds built into the process specifically so we can course-correct before it's too late. The goal is your satisfaction.
Do I need a detailed outline, or can it be rough?
The more detailed, the better - but I can work with varying levels of detail. If your outline has gaps or unclear sections, we'll address those during the outline review phase before writing begins.
Can I see samples of your writing first?
Absolutely. During the style and voice agreement phase, I'll write sample chapters or send in excerpts of my work (permitted) so you can approve the tone and style before we commit to the full manuscript.
What genres do you write?
I specialize in romance and general fiction. If your project is outside these genres, let's talk.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. Confidentiality is standard. You own all rights to the manuscript, and I will never disclose my involvement in the project.
What happens if we need to pause the project?
We can pause and resume based on mutual agreement. We'll discuss terms and any adjustments to timeline during our contract phase.
What formats will I receive the final manuscript in?
You'll get the manuscript in .docx, .pdf, and Google Docs formats (or any other format you specifically need).
How do revisions work?
You get two full draft rounds included: Draft 1 and Draft 2 (revised). Additional revisions beyond scope can be discussed, but most projects are finalized within these two rounds.
What if the manuscript doesn't match my outline?
That won't happen because of our incremental delivery system. You review chapters as they're written, so any deviations from the outline get caught and corrected early.
Do you help with publishing after the manuscript is done?
My service ends at manuscript delivery, but I'm happy to point you toward reputable editors, formatters, or publishing resources if you need them.
