Return Policy

When a refund applies, how much, and how to request one.

Before work starts

Cancel any service before work has begun and you receive a full refund, with no questions and no fee.

After work starts

Once a specialist has begun, refunds reflect the work already completed. Cancel partway through an edit and you are billed for the portion delivered, not the whole service.

Completed services

Where work has been delivered and revision rounds used, the service is complete and not refundable. If the deliverable genuinely failed to meet the brief you approved, our guarantee applies instead — we reassign or refund that service.

Printed books

Print orders are manufactured to order and cannot be returned for a change of mind. Defective, damaged or misprinted copies are replaced free — send photographs within thirty days of delivery.

Distribution services

Once a title has been delivered to retail channels, distribution setup is complete and non-refundable. You may withdraw the title from distribution at any time.

Requesting a refund

Contact your coordinator or write to draft2distribution@gmail.com with your order reference. Requests are reviewed within two business days and approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within ten.
