NOTES
As part of our conversation prior to signing an agreement, you will Received a detailed quote for your book project.
I charge one flat fee for all book writing. This includes all interview time, and a full edit and proofing by outside editors after you have approved the final draft. The only additional expenses would be in the (rare) case of the need for me to travel. In such cases, I would be reimbursed for airfare, car rental, fuel, hotel, and meals
