Need someone in the know to tell you how your manuscript reads?
BETA READER SERVICE
As a developmental editor with nearly 20 years experience, I’ll summarize what’s working in your manuscript and what needs improvement.
This is a straight read and general feedback service for writers. If you require a more in-depth service,
check out SHOW or TELL.
Fee: $0.003 per word for full-length manuscripts
Short Stories: $1.25 per single-spaced page ($25 minimum read fee)
A 50% deposit is required to get your manuscript on my calendar.
The balance is due when the reading and feedback summary are completed, and prior to the return of the summary. You may also pay the entire fee before the reading is started, if you prefer.
UNFINISHED NOVEL ADVISOR SERVICE
Get your unfinished novel beta read, with developmental editing suggestions about how to complete it.
Fee: $0.003 per word of existing manuscript
The balance is due when the reading and feedback summary are completed, and prior to the return of the summary. You may also pay the entire fee before the reading is started, if you prefer.
All payments are made through PayPal. Contact me at [email protected] to get set up.
