A manuscript read provides: 1) a thorough reading of your manuscript by me, and 2) verbal feedback via phone for up to one hour. Manuscript reads are completed in approximately two weeks. To reserve a spot on my calendar, I require you to sign a consultation agreement and pay the fee in full upfront. Payment can be made via PayPal, check, or money order.
Manuscript Read Fee: $750
To schedule a manuscript read, please do the following:
3. E-mail the information requested below to: marcelalandres@yahoo.com. Be sure to put “Manuscript Read Request” in the subject line.
4. Attach the first ten pages of your manuscript to your e-mail as a doc or pdf, not a docx. After I receive your responses and the first ten pages, I will e-mail you the consultation agreement for signature. Many thanks in advance! Note: I do not edit the manuscript for manuscript read consultations, nor do I provide written feedback. If you desire written feedback on your work, I recommend you opt for a manuscript edit, a manuscript critique, or a proposal critique.
