Minimum client time commitment: All orders include a 15-30 minute meeting to review requirements, plus one to two draft review meetings, as may be required.
See our Service Agreement and How we work with clients for related terms.
our Fees
Fees are calculated on the basis of document type, length, number of inclusions (photos, tables, charts, etc.).
All orders under $250 are due in full at the time the order is placed. For orders of $250 or more, we require a 50% deposit of the total order up front, with balance due on completion. Deposits are not posted to the client’s card until the work order is finalized in the order review meeting.
Optional additional costs:
- 3rd party custom design and print/bind/ship costs are passed through on the final invoice.
- Fees for research and fact-checking are charged by the hour and estimated in the order form based on document type and length. Additional time is approved by the client beforehand and changed on the final invoice.
our Process
You use the Order Form below to place your order and pay the deposit.
We schedule a work order review meeting to confirm and finalize requirements and begin work.
When your order is ready, we email the final invoice to you. You pay the balance due. We email you a link to your completed document for download.
We will consider requests for minor revisions to the completed document at no extra charge. To request major revisions, client replies back to the final invoice email with the request. Major revisions will require a new estimate and job order.
