High moral groundstrictly editorial

March 30, 2007

Ethical dilemma resolved easily enough.

[HGC] My real reason for asking about how many lessons are outstanding has to do with my invoicing. I realize that we are only in the midst of the first round of edits, and that we have at least two more to go. However, the total word count, even with the documents we haven't yet received, is much lower than what we estimated when I bid on the project. How do you think we should handle this?

[Client] Thanks for your honesty, but it's also your time and flexibility that are valuable to me. I don't think you need to invoice according to the word count, just the description of the task. ...you do a lot more than general editing-so that the word count does not have to be emphasized. Thanks again.
