Services/ Products And Refund Policies

Digital products

All digital products are non-refundable.

Book Editing Services:

We offer copyediting, line editing, developmental editing, and editorial assessments for authors looking to strengthen their book.

For writers/indie-authors looking for editors, we have the right to choose or refuse any story that we feel may not align with our mission or our schedule. Although we strive to help you release a flawless book, we cannot guarantee there will not be any human error.

After the client receives the free 30-minute consultation, they have the right to decline the services offered. However, if both parties proceed with the service, and once the NDA and all editing service contracts are signed by both parties, they must pay a deposit to reserve the service.

At Humming Hearts Publishing, LLC, we will NEVER use AI to generate creative writing, edit or write a book.

Contracts

All clients either offered a payment plan or flat service rate are to enter a contractual agreement that must be signed by all parties (Humming Hearts Publishing, LLC, the editor, and the client). The contract(s) must be signed after the project has been accepted by the business and editor at Humming Hearts Publishing, LLC, and once the client chooses to accept our offer and the chosen editor to polish their book, but before any editing beyond the “sample edit” at 1,000 words.

Cancelation Fees

If you cancel a book editing service while on a payment plan or a flat service rate, you must let us know within 48-hours of the date your service begins if you wish for any refund for unused services. All services already provided are non-refundable, and there are no refunds for your deposit.

Book Coaching services

We offer fiction book coaching services for writers looking to build writing habits and strengthen their book.

For writers/indie-authors looking for coaches, we have the right to choose or refuse any story that we feel may not align with our mission or our schedule.

After the client receives the free 30-minute consultation, they have the right to decline the services offered. However, if both parties proceed with the service, and once the NDA and all coaching service contracts are signed by both parties, the client must pay their deposit.

Contracts

We work under contractual agreements for our coaching services to ensure accountability within both parties.

Rescheduling/Cancelation

If you need to reschedule a book coaching service while on a payment plan or a flat service rate, you must let us know within 48-hours to secure rescheduling, otherwise you forfeit the session, which is non-refundable. If you decide to cancel any remaining sessions, you will not get your deposit back, nor will you get a refund on the services already provided to you. However, if there are remaining sessions the client no longer wants/needs, they do not have to pay the remaining balance, and if they’ve already paid, they will get a refund on the balance based on sessions remaining and unused.

Services payment options:

Payment Plans

We offer payment plans with clients, and the specifics of that will be outlined in an “Editing Service Breakdown”, or the “Book Coaching Breakdown.” The payment plan agreement will be included in the contract between Humming Hearts Publishing, LLC and the client. We require a 10% deposit from the total upon contractual agreement, then the payment plan will be adjusted according to the remaining balance from the deposit. This allows us to reserve your spot on our calendar.

Flat service rate

For any client who doesn’t want a payment plan and requests the flat service rate. We require a 10% deposit from the total upon contractual agreement to reserve your slot on our calendar.
