Upload Deadline & Forfeiture

Query & Synopsis Critique

For query & synopsis critique services, the client must upload their query and synopsis within 10 days of purchase. If you need more time, you must request an extension in writing (via email) before the 10-day deadline.

If no materials are submitted within 10 days and no extension has been requested, your booking is considered forfeited, and no refunds or credits will be issued.

Extensions are at Bold Quill Studio’s discretion.

Bold Quill Studio reserves the right to offer a one-time rebooking at a discounted rate (if space permits) within 30 days of the original purchase.

Service Delivery Timeline

Query & Synopsis Critique

The estimated delivery time for Query & Synopsis Critique services is 2 -3 weeks from the date the materials are submitted. While every effort is made to meet this timeline, Bold Quill Studio is not liable for delays due to client revision requests, calendar availability, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Client Submitted Materials & IP

All materials submitted by the client (e.g. query letters, synopses, manuscripts) remain the client’s property. By submitting these materials, the client grants Bold Quill Studio a non-exclusive, revocable license to access, view, format, and provide feedback during the course of the service. Beyond delivering the critique, Bold Quill Studio does not claim any ownership or reuse rights.

Limitation of Liability

Bold Quill Studio is not liable for any direct or indirect damages resulting from:

  • Use or misuse of our content

  • Business decisions based on our resources

  • Delays, interruptions, or technical errors

Bold Quill Studio does not guarantee improved submission outcomes, such as partial or full requests, agent interest, or publication success. Feedback is for educational purposes only: business or publishing decisions based on the critique are the client’s sole responsibility.

Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to first attempt mediation. If mediation is unsuccessful, any legal proceedings shall be conducted in Illinois, under its state laws, and venue will be limited to its state or federal courts.

Modification of Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. It is your responsibility to review them periodically. Continued use of the site or our products after updates indicates acceptance of the new terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state of Illinois, without regard to conflict of law principles.
