Helping authors receive the feedback they long for (and need) to take essays, short stories and novels up to their next level brings me the greatest joy. Why? Most people don't believe they have the skills to be a great writer. Too many people fall for the notion that some people are just "born with it". I'm here to show you that YOU can become a great writer. With a little help in all the right places, your story will shine and deserve its place on any bookshelf!
I will provide you with suggestions to make each paragraph become the best version of itself. If I notice regularly occurring grammar and punctuation errors, I will point those out as well.
This is a great way to check and see if your opening pages are drawing the reader in. I provide suggestions to strengthen the structure and each paragraph.
This is a back-and-forth process. I will review and provide specific suggestions and send the material back to you. Once you've had a chance to reshape the material, I'll look at it again and provide an analysis of your work and a chance to ask questions.
The first and foremost question is exactly what do you want from a critique?
What surprises me is the large number of authors who simply can't believe their writing-group members or friends who tell them that the story is good. They want reassurance from a critical perspective before they begin to either submit it to an agent or go straight to a publishing house. For such as that, I charge a very low fee of $350. I'll read the entire piece and provide you with an honest assessment.
For deeper analysis, I charge $.015 per word with a minimum of 60K words. Story development, plotlines, character development, tension and hooks are reviewed. You'll receive a written review plus my intensive use of Word comments, to point out specific parts that need attention. (Please note, this is not a grammar and punctuation edit.) Please fill out only STEP ONE below for manuscripts.
Let's make sure we're a great fit before we work together. Once I'm in, I'm committed to your success. For some, this can be a bit scary when we don't know each other. Check out more information about me in the link below, and feel free (and welcomed!) to send me a message and begin a conversation. Make an intentional thought, today, to claim the life you want.
