Dear Pastor Fisher:

Thanks for choosing me to work on your project. To answer your questions:

1) What is the next step in the process? 
When your document is ready, go to my listing in the "Editors" section of the website and click "submit document." You'll get a form where you can upload the document, choose your service (based on word count and deadline), and give any instructions you may have.

2) … I am not quite ready to submit anything yet. Is there a problem in this? 
No problem at all. I'm ready when you are!

3) When do I pay? Do I put money down now as a retainer? 
You don't need to pay a retainer. I don't handle the billing end, but my understanding is that you'll be asked for a credit card (or PayPal account) when you submit the document, but won't be charged until I complete the work.

4) Is there ever an opportunity to connect via phone if this would be a better way to communicate? 
Sure! My phone number is 407-928-7801. Your documents to be edited do need to be submitted through the website for billing purposes, but if you have questions, you can e-mail me at kristen@kristenstieffel.com if you prefer that to the  Editor World messaging system.

5) Is it OK to send a few chapters at a time? 
Yes, whatever works best for you. 

6) Is there any other helpful info. that you can give me? 
That's all I can think of for now. I look forward to working with you!

Grace and Peace to you,
Kristen Stieffel
