Hiring a editor who is actually based in Tai Po changes the work in ways an offshore hire cannot copy. A dense, fast moving finance and trade hub. Bilingual content is standard, decisions are quick, and credibility signals are read closely by professional buyers.
Practically, that means your editor writes in the spelling, currency and legal conventions used across Hong Kong, references Tai Po and wider New Territories accurately, works inside your hours so a question does not cost a day, and quotes in HKD. Languages on the bench for this market: Cantonese, English, Mandarin.

Terms and trust
Plain terms, written down before you commit to anything.
You are a client of The DRAFT ROOOM, not the personal client of the specialist. The contract, the invoice, the confidentiality agreement and the copyright assignment all sit with us.
If a specialist becomes unavailable for any reason, including leaving our bench, we reassign a peer level specialist from the same market and the same discipline at no extra cost. Your brief, your voice guide and your work in progress stay with us, so nothing restarts.
Project work is 50 per cent on acceptance of the scope and 50 per cent on final delivery. Retainers are 50 per cent before the month starts and 50 per cent at the end of that month.
Full commercial copyright transfers to you on final payment. Every specialist has signed a confidentiality agreement and an intellectual property assignment with us before taking a single brief.
Every deliverable is reviewed by a senior Draft ROOOM editor against your brief and your voice guide before it reaches you. Two rounds of revision are included as standard.
