Payments accepted in US Funds include, Paypal, Check, US Money Order. You may use Paypal to pay by Credit Card. International payments must be made using Paypal. This is easier for both of us because Paypal will handle the currency exchange automatically. Ask about payment arrangements. I generally prefer payment in full on submission of manuscript for editing, but I will accept half up front and half on completion. If you need other options, don’t hesitate to ask.
