Manuscript Consultant:
Need to polish your writing? Want feedback on your first draft? I offer authors a personal consultation about their literary work in the following genres: poetry, fiction, nonfiction, memoir, or biography prior to the work being submitted for publication. I provide a close reading of the manuscript, a detailed assessment of the work and the organization of the submission, as well as suggestions about how to make the manuscript successful in today’s publishing environment. I will note some spelling/grammatical errors found, but the consultation does not guarantee proofreading.
Options: $35 for the first 15 pages of the manuscript; $2 per page for each additional page sent. Proofreading fees not included.
Will reply to queries within two business days.
Proofreading:
Must submit ten pages of manuscript for review (at no charge) before job is accepted. $2 per page for proofreading. Minimum: $30 per project.
