The Editor’s
Scope Kit.
A clearer agreement before the edit. A calmer conversation when the brief changes.
For freelance editors who work on fixed-fee projects and want a repeatable way to record deliverables, gather feedback, and price additional work. These are editable working documents—not contracts or a replacement for legal advice.

When a new aspect ratio is requested“Happy to look at a vertical version. That adds a separate reframe and QC pass to the agreed horizontal delivery. I’ll map the changes and send an estimate before starting. If the budget is fixed, we can also discuss replacing one of the existing versions.”
Open the free client feedback sheet ↗ or try the free add-on reply builder. The kit adds the reusable planning system around those tools.
