When an edited draft is delivered to the client, they understand it is their responsibility to make changes to their project and ask questions of Curly Quotes Editing in a timely manner. Missed deadlines due to mismanaged client time are not the fault of Curly Quotes Editing.
In the event that Curly Quotes Editing cannot attend a scheduled meeting time, the client understands they will be contacted as soon as possible before the scheduled time and provided a link to reschedule.

The client understands that Curly Quotes Editing will never be excessively harsh editing their projects or during coaching calls and will always treat the client and their work with respect. Therefore, the client will afford Curly Quotes Editing the same courtesy. The client understands that coaching and editing can be an emotional process, and Curly Quotes Editing is not a grading service that is judging the client’s personal self or work based on craft, grammar, style, or length.
Verbal and Emotional Abuse
The client understands that verbal or emotional abuse will not be tolerated and is grounds for Curly Quotes Editing to terminate collaboration and refuse service to the client in the future. The client understands and agrees that “ghosting” or uncooperative communication are also grounds for contract termination as a solid, open dialogue is an integral part of the author/coach or author/editor relationship.
