Terms

You send pages and a brief. You receive an editorial letter with feedback on what works, what needs attention and what you could try next, using examples from your text.

The letter offers editorial opinions. It doesn't include rewriting or proofreading, and it doesn't guarantee publication or acceptance by an agent.

Claude produces the analysis using instructions I wrote from my notes on writing craft. I read and edit every letter before sending it to you.

Send work you have the right to send. Do not send anyone else's manuscript, and do not send material that is unlawful.

The letter is written for you. Share it with whoever you like, but do not resell it or present it as your own editorial service.

The service is in an open test phase, and during it every read is free: a chapter, several chapters, or a whole manuscript, however many times you send them. There is no card to enter and nothing is charged, then or afterwards, for anything sent during the test.

When the test phase ends, a read has a flat price by scope: one price for a chapter or a few chapters, another for a whole manuscript, and half the book price for a fresh read of a manuscript that has changed. The exact figures are on the pricing page, and nothing is ever charged without you seeing the amount in the checkout first.

If a letter is not delivered, you are refunded in full. If it is delivered and you consider it worthless, tell me why and I will refund you. I would rather return the money than have someone feel they were sold something empty, and the note about why is worth more to me than the payment.

Letters usually arrive within a few days. I review and edit each one, so delivery isn't instant. If a read will take much longer than expected, I'll let you know.

Close your account whenever you like. I can decline or end service for anyone sending unlawful material or attempting to abuse the service, and any unused payment is returned.

The service is provided as it is. Editorial feedback involves judgement, and a letter may misunderstand your book. You can question or disagree with its suggestions.

My liability is limited to the amount you paid.

These terms are governed by Norwegian law. If there's a disagreement, email editor@karlove.com so we can try to resolve it. I read and reply to these messages myself.
