Clients acknowledge and agree to our refunds policy, which clearly states that all editorial and consulting services are performed to the best of our abilities, begin immediately upon ordering and will be rendered on their behalf in good faith. Cancellation of editing services must be submitted in writing via email. Phone calls, voice / chat messages and/or standard post/letters will not be acknowledged as formal cancellation. Upon receipt, The Fiction Therapist will contact the assigned editor to cancel the project and to immediately discontinue editing services. Upon successful discontinuation/cancellation of editorial services, The Fiction Therapist will then contact the client within 24 hours and notify them of their editing status. Editing service charges will be calculated and retained according to the degree of services provided, if any, by the editor prior to receipt and successful cancellation of client’s service request. Services already performed by the editor will be delivered along with the remainder of the payment for the services not fulfilled due to cancellation. No returns, service credits or refunds will be issued for editing services ordered and completed by our editors and consultants. All fulfilled services are electronically transferred via email to the client’s originally submitted email address. We are not responsible for any inaccessibility, including but not limited to lost passwords, email submission errors and/or failed transmissions.

Clients agree to resolve any questions, concerns or disputes regarding the quality of their completed editorial services by formally submitting a written request for a re-edit. This request for a re-edit must specifically outline all questions, concerns and/or possible editorial errors or omissions so that The Fiction Therapist’s editors may clearly address, respond and/or correct the areas of concern on the client’s behalf as quickly and professionally as possible. Client’s requests for a review and re-edit applies only to their original text and will be edited according to their original written instructions. Corrections consist of any grammar, spelling, punctuation, editorial changes, or possible mistakes within the final edited work returned to the client by The Fiction Therapist. Thus, it does not include any additional re-editing, changes, additions or alterations made by the author/client after delivery of services. (That would create a new document and require a new editing project to be ordered.)
