FAQ
Still have questions about the process and timeline?
Read my blog post Explaining the Editorial Process for a more in-depth look at this process. Also, please feel free to contact me to set up a free 15 minute Discovery Call where I can answer your questions and we can decide what works best for you and your project.
How do I know if you are a good fit to be my editor?
Please take some time to learn more about me by reading my About page and my blog How to Choose an Editor. Please know that your project is very personal to you and you want to find someone you like, get along with, and respect to work with to help you get your manuscript ready for readers. I am happy to schedule time for a 15 minute Discovery Call to chat and see if we are a good fit. If we aren’t, for whatever the reason, I can help suggest other editors for you to contact.
How will we communicate while working together?
I am comfortable speaking on the phone, emailing, or meeting via a video call. Whichever method you are most comfortable with. I will maintain communication with you throughout our time working together via email for updates and quick questions. However, we may find a phone call or video call to be more conducive for our first meeting to discuss the project or later in our work for our collaborative consultation during the editing process.
Testimonials
“I’m very grateful to know Mrs. Wheeless, she is my life savior from now on. I am the owner of a little bakery, English is not my first language which makes it difficult for me to communicate with people in an effective and clear way. My goal is to send a clear message through words to our customers so they can relate with us. Here is when Mrs. Wheeless comes to play such an important role, besides I am learning from her as well while working together. So grateful for her professionalism, knowledge, support and presence in my business communications journey if you will. Thank you very much, Claudia”
