Turnaround
I try to have all beta-reading projects completed within 1 week of request acceptance, but this varies depending on length and my availability. If you need it in a certain timeframe, please make that apparent in your request so we can discuss accordingly. I may charge a rush fee if I have to bump you up on my priority list to finish in time.

If you're getting ready to submit, query, or self-publish and are seeking that extra layer of polish, then having a piece professionally edited can set your mind quite at ease.
