MANUSCRIPT EVALUATION AND EDITING SERVICES

 

I am pleased to be able to offer these services to fiction authors of all levels of experience.

​

Manuscript Evaluation

​

The Manuscript Evaluation Service includes:

​

  • Comments on content: characterization, dialogue, setting, structure, believability, research

  • Comments on writing technique: technical ability, style, voice, etc

  • Steps to take to develop the manuscript

  • Responses to three questions submitted by the author

​

Cost:


$100.00 for the first 10 pages plus $1.00 per page thereafter.
For example, the total cost for a 200-page manuscript is $100 + (190 x $1.00) = $290.00.
