Delve Services Policies and Information

Delve Writing offers a variety of services at negotiated rates exclusively to members.  Service providers have been carefully vetted to ensure quality and commitment to contracted turnaround times. 

Services will be provided with Delve Writing as an intermediary, working with both the writer and the service provider, and billing will be handled directly through Delve Writing.  Some prices are set, as they are easy to calculate the required effort in hours.  Some prices will be quoted based on information provided by the writer about the project. The price of editing, for example, depends on the length of the manuscript.

For editing to be effective, a manuscript has to be at a certain point of completion. From an ethical perspective, accepting large dollar contracts to edit manuscripts which are not ready for editing is not something Delve Writing feels is in the best interests of its writers.  Therefore, please be understanding if our service providers suggest more work is necessary before a manuscript is ready for fee-based services.

Upon submitting an inquiry, writers will be contacted within 24 hours by the services coordinator.  Depending on the desired service, a service provider will be matched to the project and a brief contract will be executed.  At that time, deliverables and a turnaround date will be agreed to.  The services coordinator will ensure that all turn times are met, or in cases where that is not possible, that appropriate communication with the writer takes place.
