A manuscript edit provides: 1) an edited manuscript, 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 edits are completed in approximately six weeks. To reserve a spot on my calendar, I require you to sign a consultation agreement. There are two payment options: 1) half my fee is due upfront and the remaining half is due when I deliver the edited manuscript to you, or 2) you receive a 15% discount if you pay the entire fee upfront.
Manuscript Edit Fee = Determined on a project-by-project basis. In order for me to quote you a fee, please do the following:
