If you need a service not already covered here, hit me up on the contact sheet below, and let's chat! I also, subject to availability, offer rush services. Please contact me to inquire about them.
*My rates are determined largely by the total Finished and/or Physical hours as well as the number of services required - so the scale slides on those factors. ( If you have a specific budget for prep, use the contact form and we'll figure something out.)
**Nonfiction, due to the physical hours often required for research is $40 PFH minimum and may slide up if intensive foreign language or other research is required.
