If you have completed a manuscript and would like me to edit it, please e-mail me the answers to the questions below at marcelalandres@yahoo.com. Be sure to put “Manuscript Edit Request” in the subject line. In addition, attach the first ten pages of your manuscript to your e-mail. After I receive your responses, I will e-mail you more information about the consultation process, including the fee. (Note--while I work on a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction, there are a few types of writing which I do not take on. Before you e-mail me a manuscript edit request, please check that your writing does not fall in this group by visiting: Categories.) Many thanks in advance, and I look forward to hearing from you!
