While good editing and coaching will give you a greater chance of success, purchasing a service through SRD Editing Services is NOT a guarantee of publication, representation, favorable reviews, website traffic, manuscript requests, or book sales.
Refunds given on incompleted editing services will be prorated based on the work completed.
For completed and returned manuscripts, SRD Editing Services will consider refunds only when issues are brought to the editor’s attention within 30 days of the writer’s receipt of the final manuscript or final Invoice payment, and when those issues cannot be resolved.
The goal of SRD editors is to provide a satisfactory service for all clients, however, some errors may remain in a manuscript after a developmental edit or line edit. Our goal is that fewer than 40 errors per 1,000 words will remain after a line edit.
We recommend multiple rounds of line editing/copy editing until a manuscript’s error count is reduced to fewer than 40 errors per 1,000 words. In traditional publishing, manuscripts often undergo four rounds of line/copy editing.
Minimal errors may remain after a proofread, and the SRD Editing Services’ goal is fewer than 1 error per 1,000 words after a proofread.
In the case that you are dissatisfied with the final results of your line edit or proofread, please submit your concerns or complaints within 30 days of receipt of the final manuscript or submission of your final Invoice payment.
Your SRD editor will make every attempt to address your concerns and work on your manuscript until you are satisfied.
