About Refine, Ink

​Refine, Ink offers high-quality editing and copywriting services for a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction. 

Christina, the owner, is a writer and editor who enjoys helping her clients create a document of which they can be proud. She has over eight years experience in writing and editing and appreciates the challenges of each individual piece she edits. Refine, Ink is committed to each client and works efficiently and thoroughly, communicating with the client frequently to ensure the needs are met in a timely manner. Completion time for projects will vary based on length, subject matter, and type of editing and/or copywriting required. 

​How It Works

​After an initial consult, Refine, Ink and the author of the work to be edited will sign a contract outlining services required, pricing, payment, and date of completion. This is to protect Refine, Ink and the author of the piece and to guarantee that both parties are satisfied with the terms offered by Refine, Ink. 

**Refine, Ink requires a 50% deposit of the agreed upon fee prior to beginning any editing or copywriting work.**

Refine, Ink will edit and/or copywrite and submit the work to the author according to the terms agreed upon in the contract. Refine, Ink uses Microsoft Word Track Changes and the Chicago Manual of Style unless requested otherwise by the author of the work. 

Refine, Ink generally includes only one "pass" of the document. This means that once Refine, Ink has submitted the document to the author, the author is then able to accept or disregard any input from the editor. An exception can be made for Content Editing and Copywriting Services if specified in the contract.

Client Testimonials

​"Christina did the job as advertised and got it back to me on time. Her work took away the doubts that there were little errors still lurking in my manuscript by finding them and specifying the correction. Her communications were clear as were her proofreader's notes. Her contribution made it a better manuscript." ~Larry R., California

"Christina never fails to edit like it is. Whether it's my resume, an article for my blog, or the novel I am writing she always gives the best advice. I wouldn't be the writer I am if it wasn't for her." ~Holly D., Arizona
