Booking Projects
I’m closed to new work until early September.
In general, the one thing I can squeeze in in terms of graphics is full-wrap add-ons or promos for existing clients whose ebook covers are already complete. Please allow for a couple of weeks for me to get back to you about that right now.
Please note, there is a chance I will take some time off of freelancing in the fall. This isn’t decided upon yet and I have no dates picked, but please contact me as soon as possible for any firm fall dates.
I am only accepting editing bookings from previous editing clients. I cannot take on new clients at this time. My schedule is booked a year+ in advance now and as I’m working on several series, consistency is important.
Existing (and previous) clients, please book as usual. See my availability below.
2024 editing booking notice: I’m booked solid. 2025 editing booking notice: I’m generally booked January, March, May, October, November every year, and likely will be in 2025 as well. I’m unavailable April, September, and December. The next available dates are July 2025 and August 2025.
I only work on 10-12 books a year. Freelancing is part time for me as I have to work on my own writing. Please book early, and if you have some flexibility, you can inquire about sending in completed books that I can get to when I have space to fill in my schedule if you’re a previous client.
For large-scale projects, please book well in advance if possible. I won’t pencil anyone into my schedule without a down payment first unless they’re a regular client in good standing. It messes with my finances to pencil someone in and then have them not deliver the project; please book only when serious.
Typically cover art is booked four to six weeks ahead of time, FYI.
If you want something done sooner than the turn around times I project, you can inquire about a rush charge, which will vary depending on the project.
Current Email Queue
I am offline so I can focus on work. It could take up to a week to reply.

Some inquiries that come in Thursdays/Fridays might not be responded to until Monday or Tuesday. I do not check or answer email on weekends. You can usually look for any current availability updates at my Facebook page.
I am always unavailable weekends and Canadian holidays. Inquiries from clients go directly to my “work” folder and are not seen by me until my usual office hours. I also have health conditions that require a flexible schedule to account for appointments, tests, and medication side effects. Thank you for your patience.
