Submissions

Submission Policy for Four Finalized Editing, LLC

At Four Finalized, we are committed to providing secure, efficient, and high-quality editing services. In our ongoing efforts to improve your experience, we would like to inform our clients about the current and future submission process for your documents.

Current Submission Process:

For the time being, we accept submissions via email through our official email address. After placing your order on the website, please send your documents, along with any relevant instructions/rubrics/notes, to info@fourfinalized.com. Our team will promptly acknowledge receipt and begin the editing process once your submission is received.

Future Submission Process:

In the near future, we will be transitioning to a more secure submission system, where clients will be required to create an account on our platform to submit their documents. This change will allow us to provide enhanced privacy, file security, and streamlined communication throughout the editing process.

Why We Are Making This Change:

• Improved Security: Account registration ensures that your personal information and documents are stored securely, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
• Better File Management: Submitting via an account will help us manage documents more efficiently, ensuring faster turnaround times and reducing the likelihood of errors.
• Privacy Protection: We are dedicated to safeguarding your privacy, and account-based submissions allow us to implement stronger encryption and data protection measures.

Next Steps:

If you are a current client, we will notify you with ample time before the transition takes place. Once the new submission system is in effect, you will be able to easily register for a free account on our website at fourfinalized.com.

We will provide detailed instructions on how to create an account and submit your documents through the new system before the transition date. This FAQ page will be revised accordingly, when this change is made.

Process

Can I submit a file on behalf of another person?

• Yes. However, by submitting on another person’s behalf, you acknowledge that you will also be accepting the returned submission on their behalf. Hence, you will be responsible for getting the returned submission to the appropriate person.

How will my file be returned?

• Your file will be returned electronically, via email. Your returned submission will contain the initials (FFE_) in the file name.

How will I know if/when my file is received?

• After purchasing a product in our shop, you will receive a confirmation message via email. The confirmation is acknowledgment that your order was successful. To begin the editing process after making your purchase, please send your file (along with any relevant rubric or instructions) to info@fourfinalized.com. Once we receive your submission, you’ll be sent Four Finalized Editing LLC’s official editing service contract, which outlines the scope of work, client responsibilities, and other key details. While formal acknowledgment of the contract is not required, it is provided for your reference and transparency. Once editing is complete, your finalized file will be returned via the same email address it was sent from.

What is your turnaround time?

• The turnaround time depends on the length of the submission. Submissions that are between 1-19 pages long will be returned within 48 hours from the time of submission. Submissions that are 20 pages or longer can take up to a week. Please keep these turnaround times in mind when submitting to us.

What editing software do you use?

• We use the comments and track changes feature in Microsoft Word. Any editorial work we do will be clearly marked.

Will you write my paper for me?

• No. While we offer strong editorial comments and sentence-level rewrites, suggesting things such as word choices and proper sentence structure, we will not write or rewrite large portions of your paper. Academic integrity is very important to us, and we believe that students learn best when they produce their own original ideas and work.

Do I need to include the rubric/instructions?

• A rubric is only required for Outline Critique and Development submissions. For other submissions, a rubric is appreciated but not required. Overall, we strongly recommend including a rubric with every submission. 

Payment

What payment options do you accept?

• At the moment, we only accept secure payments through PayPal. Please be aware that, in some instances, fees may apply.

Can I cancel my order?

• We offer a cancellation window of 24 hours from the time of purchase. Orders cancelled within that window will receive a full refund. Orders cancelled after the 24-hour cancellation window will not be refunded.
