“ Everything went great on the editing part - I was really happy with the changes on the text and Susan was generally positive and pleasant to work with. However, the project took longer than estimated and a part of it that I explicitly asked for was not delivered. I needed and ebook to be edited and then converted and made compatible with the Kindle Direct Publishing guidelines. I asked if this was possible right from the beginning of the project, because it was important for me, and the answer was yes but it never happened. Susan accepted a 25% decrease of the agreed budget for this, which was decent. But I was still delayed and had to find another freelancer to finish the project which put me over the initial budget and way over schedule. ”
