Use of Materials

Use of materials associated with this website and any goods or services purchased from it
must respect the intellectual property rights of their creator(s). You may quote from or summarise blog posts so long as all quotations or summaries are properly attributed and within the bounds of applicable copyright laws. You may use coaching materials and course materials for your own development and education. You may not engage in the following:

Expectations

All coaching clients and course participants accept that while I promise to support you to the best of my ability, you will only meet your writing goals if you put in the work necessary. Furthermore, if your goal is to be published with a traditional publishing house, you are responsible for finding and agent and publisher.

Behaviour

I treat all clients with dignity and respect and expect the same in return; I also expect clients to treat one another with dignity and respect. Should this not be the case, so long as I do not feel my safety is compromised, I will raise the issue with you and try to work through it. Should the issue persist, I may deem it necessary to terminate our professional relationship and revoke your access to the site and/or materials associated with/purchased from it.

Refund Policy

I have seen clients who engage with my courses and coaching become better, more productive writers. I want all of my clients to be happy, but if you’re not, please read the following carefully.

Courses

Refunds are possible so long as they are requested within 30 days of purchase, but only if you can demonstrate that you have fully engaged with the coaching or course purchased. For example, if you purchase my 6-month course, ‘There’s a Book in Every Expert’, you would need to submit evidence you have completed all of the work for the first 4 weeks along with proof that the course was not working for you.[1] For mini-courses bought as stand alone courses rather than as part of a larger package, like ‘Magic Ideas Generator’ or ‘First Steps to Your First Book’, you would need to submit evidence that you have completed the course in question along with proof that it was not working for you.

Monthly memberships

You may cancel at any time. Refunds will not be given in full or in part.

Annual memberships

You may cancel at any time; partial refunds will be given for full unused months only. For example, if you sign up for an annual membership on 10 February 2021 and wish to cancel it on 1 April 2021, you will receive a refund for the unused 10 months (10/12ths of your original payment).


 
By purchasing goods or services from this site, you signal you accept this refund policy.

Course fee

By purchasing this course, you agree that the course fee covers the following:

  • Access to the course materials;
  • Access to Zoom coaching calls and workshops (where applicable); and
  • Access to a private Facebook group for the duration of the course.

The course fee does not cover editorial services, printing/publishing services, or distribution of your book.

Terms and conditions for editorial work

These terms apply to work undertaken by me (the Freelancer) for you (the Client) on a freelance basis. They are compliant with the terms and conditions drawn up for freelance editors drawn up on behalf of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders.

  1. These terms & conditions apply to any work done for the Client by the Freelancer.
  2. The Client is under no obligation to offer the Freelancer work; neither is the Freelancer under any obligation to accept work offered by the Client.
  3. The Freelancer will provide service(s) as mutually agreed, confirmed in writing by the Client.
  4. The work will be carried out unsupervised at such times and places as determined by the Freelancer, using her/his own equipment.
  5. The Freelancer confirms that she/he is self-employed, is responsible for her/his own income tax and National Insurance contributions, and for paying VAT (where applicable) and will not claim benefits granted to the Client’s employees.
  6. The Freelancer agrees to attend the Client’s or other premises for necessary meetings, the time spent and agreed reasonable expenses incurred to be reimbursed by the Client.
  7. The Client will reimburse the Freelancer for agreed reasonable expenses over and above usual expenses incurred in the process of editorial work.
  8. The Client will pay the Freelancer a fee per hour OR per printed page OR an agreed flat fee for the job, plus VAT where applicable.
  9. The completed work will be delivered on or before the date agreed, for the agreed fee, which will be based on the description of the work required and the brief, both supplied by the Client.
  10. If, however, on receipt of the item to be worked on or at an early stage, it becomes apparent that significantly more work is required than had been anticipated in the preliminary discussion/brief, the Freelancer may renegotiate the fee and/or the deadline.
  11. Similarly, if, during the term of the Freelancer’s work, additional tasks are requested by the Client, the Freelancer may renegotiate the fee and/or the deadline.
  12. If the project is lengthy, the Freelancer may invoice periodically for completed stages.
  13. Any content created by the Freelancer as part of the copyediting/proofreading/project management process will become the copyright of the Client, unless otherwise agreed.
  14. The nature and content of the work will be kept confidential and not made known to anyone other than the Client and its contractors without prior written permission.
  15. The Freelancer guarantees that any work that she/he subcontracts on behalf of the Client will be completed to the same standard, schedule and budget and with the same conditions of confidentiality.
  16. If the Freelancer’s work is unsatisfactory, the Freelancer will rectify it in her/his own time and at her/his own expense.
  17. Unless agreed otherwise at the outset, payment will be made within 30 days of receipt of the Freelancer’s invoice, according to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 (amended 2002 and 2013).
  18. The information that the Client and the Freelancer may keep on record is covered by the terms of the General Data Protection Regulation. No more such information will be held than is necessary, at any time, to comply with those terms and with any compliance statement or privacy policy published by the Client and/or the Freelancer. Both the Client and the Freelancer agree that, where consent is required to hold or process such data, such consent has been requested and obtained and both facts can be demonstrated. Either may view the other’s records to ensure that they are relevant, correct and up to date.
  19. Either the Client or the Freelancer has the right to terminate a contract for services if there is a serious breach of its terms.
  20. If the Freelancer has made a substantial contribution to the copyediting/proofreading/project management of the work, she/he will be entitled to receive one free copy of the work.
  21. The Freelancer may use the Client’s name in her/his promotional material.
  22. This agreement is subject to the laws of England and Wales [or Scots or Northern Ireland law, as appropriate], and both Freelancer and Client agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the English and Welsh [or Scots or Northern Ireland] courts.

[1] The only exception to this is if you purchase a course and then agree a delayed start date (with me via email within 7 days of purchase); under this circumstance, you would have 30 days from your agreed start date to claim a refund; again, only if you submit evidence of engagement over those 30 days and proof that the course is not working for you.
