A manuscript critique provides: 1) a thorough reading of your manuscript by me, 2) a candid editorial letter in which I outline my recommendations on how to improve your work, plus strategic advice on the business of publishing, and 3) verbal feedback via phone for up to one hour. Manuscript critiques are completed in approximately three weeks. To reserve a spot on my calendar, I require you to sign a consultation agreement and pay the fee in full upfront.
Manuscript Critique Fee: $1500
