You’d LOVE to work one-on-one with a professional on your novel or memoir, but time, money—or, well, life right now—doesn’t allow for it.
OR
You’ve got this! (Sort of…) But maybe it would be nice to have a dash of professional input…just to make sure you’re on the right track.

Manuscript Evalution
Package: approx $7/page (standard manuscript format: Times/Times New Roman, 12 pt font, double-spaced, one-inch margins)*
For writers who have a COMPLETED MANUSCRIPT (Memoir or fiction of any genre. Age range: MG, YA, adult)
Not yet ready for a developmental edit yet? Consider a more cost-effective, high-level assessment, where I read through your whole manuscript and offer a comprehensive 7-10 page evaluation letter detailing big-picture elements similar to a developmental edit including structure, characterization, narrative, point of view, transitions, writing style and genre expectations. No inline edits or comments, but the letter will include examples of what’s working well, what can be improved and specific suggestions for improvement.
Feel free to send me your first five pages for a FREE evaluation: Email me a Word document of the first five pages of your manuscript in standard manuscript format (Times/Times New Roman, 12 pt font, double-spaced, one-inch margins). I’ll offer you initial feedback in an email (no inline comments).
NEXT STEPS after Manuscript Evaluation: You’re not alone in your revisions!
OPTION 1: As the most cost-effective option, we work together as you revise your stoy with one of my monthly coaching packages to ensure you stay on track.
Price: $500-$700/month
OPTION 2: The most high-touch value, I implement your edits and revisions for you, ensuring I consult with you every step of the way.
*Specific price will be determined and agreed upon before any commitment on your part.
