Booking Projects
As of mid-June 2022, I can take:
- formatting (interior and ebooks)
- new cover art
Premade covers can be customized at any time (outside of holidays) but please allow for a week turnaround.
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 at least a one-week turnaround.
2022 editing booking notice: I’m booked through the rest of the year. (I have absolutely no room to squeeze anything in.)
2023 editing booking notice: I’m booked in January through May, September, and October 2023, so the earliest slot I have is June. I am unlikely to take anything in December unless it’s a shorter copyedit.
(Note: you can book at any time. But if I’m booked solid, that means I can’t start your project until I’m done others.)
For large-scale projects, please book well in advance if possible. I only have 1-2 editing slots open a month and I won’t pencil anyone into my schedule without a down payment first. It messes with my finances to pencil someone in and then have them not deliver the project; please book only when serious. I have several regular clients who book regular slots 12-18 months in advance, so know there is usually a long wait for editing.
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 usually answer email within one to three business days.

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. Thank you for your patience!
