I’m excited to introduce a month of free Whetstone Editing Services. I’ve wanted to launch this for several months but felt the timing wasn’t quite right.
I know, I know, “If you’re good at something, never do it for free.”
Not to ignore the wisdom in the adage, but I’m going to ignore the wisdom in the adage. I’ve never mistaken my confidence for arrogance. Neither should you. I’m nervous about making this offer, but I’m also ready, and I know what I’m capable of–that I’m capable of even more if I challenge myself.
That, dear readers, is where you come in. As much as I’m offering seven of you free services, you are offering me the chance to push and challenge myself.
Are you ready? Let’s do this!
WHO:
- I’m offering up to 7 (seven) subscribers 1 free Whetstone Editing Service per person.
As long as you’re a subscriber and you follow the requirements within each individual gig, you are eligible.
WHAT:
- 1 (one) standalone Whetstone Editing Service per person
- Plus any two gig extras for their chosen gig
Here’s a good overview of my services (some samples here).
If you need help deciding what a standalone service is or understanding which items are gig extras, check out my Services and Rates page, my Fiverr gigs, or just ask me.
WHERE:
This month-long offer takes place right here on my blog. Subscribers only. It’s free to subscribe, and I won’t bombard you with posts (I post every 2 weeks, with the occasional once-a-week run).
WHEN:
Monday, October 9th, 2017 to Thursday, November 9th, 2017.
HOW:
- Subscribe to Whetstonecraft for free, bi-weekly writing advice like my Depth Series.
- Send me a message and be one of seven to secure a spot on my schedule.
- Once you’ve initiated contact, I will work with you to iron out exactly which one service and two gig extras you need.
- Please ensure that you’ve read my gig requirements on Fiverr before selecting a gig.
- I will then tackle your request (in the order it came in). This does not necessarily mean I’ll complete the work this month.
- I’ll let all readers know how many slots are left, and when all seven have been filled.
- Once the work has been completed and agreed to, you’re encouraged to leave honest feedback via the testimonial page.
WHY:
As noted above, everyone likes free stuff, and I need this challenge.
Does this free offer interest you? Do you know someone else who would benefit from it? Let me know in the comments!
Thank you for reading!
