Thank you for your question. In theory, the sample edit is for a longer document and the client wants the sample to determine if he or she likes the editor's work and comments.<br /><br />You could submit a complete short document for what would then be a "free" edit, which is not what the sample edit was intended to provide.<br /><br />Also, the editor can refuse to do a sample edit for any client at any time and for any reason.<br /><br />I'm sure some people have taken advantage of this offer but it is offered in good faith and hopefully will be treated that same way.&nbsp;
