What happens next?
1. Once I receive notification of your purchase from PayPal, I’ll email you a contract.
Sometimes technology fails—if it has been 48 hours and you haven’t heard from me, please email me at lauralmcpherson[at]gmail[dot]com.
2. After I receive the signed contract, you can send me your flash piece!
When I send your contract, I will let you know the estimated turnaround time (typically 1 week).
Fun fact: 1% of my revenue is donated to the fight against climate change via next-generation carbon removal through Stripe Climate.
Please note:
