Ways to pay

Payment options

After we agree on the work and price, I’ll send a secure payment request for the amount due. Afterpay is available through my Square invoices for eligible purchases. Ask me about Klarna if you prefer that option.

Afterpay

Available on eligible Square invoices. Once your project is quoted, request an Afterpay invoice and choose Afterpay at checkout. Approval and payment terms are shown by Afterpay.

Request an Afterpay invoice ↗

Klarna

Ask for a Klarna eligible checkout link. Availability and installment terms depend on the payment provider and Klarna’s approval at checkout.

Ask about Klarna ↗

Your quote comes first. Afterpay must pay the full amount of each Square invoice; it cannot be used for a partial payment on one invoice. Klarna availability will be confirmed before a link is sent. These links start an inquiry and do not charge you.

Before we begin

We’ll agree on the work, schedule, and included correction rounds before the project starts. Payment is 50% to begin and 50% when the approved files are ready.

Proof and author copies, shipping, paid images, and outside editing are separate. Amazon KDP has no upfront publishing fee; printing costs and royalties depend on the book’s specifications.
