A proposal critique provides: 1) an edited proposal, 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. Proposal critiques 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.
 
Proposal Critique Fee: $975
