“Hands down, Marcela is one of the best investments I made for my book. She not only provided me with detailed suggestions on how to sharpen my novel, she gave me concrete advice about the publishing industry. I owe Marcela a debt of gratitude for her part in helping make my debut successful. You might find another editor, but you will not find a better editor.”—K.L. Brady, author of The Bum Magnet
A manuscript critique provides:
1) a complete reading of your manuscript by me;
2) an editorial letter which details how to hone your craft and manage your career; plus
3) verbal feedback via phone for up to one hour.
Manuscript critiques are completed in approximately three weeks. To reserve a spot on my calendar, I require payment and a signed agreement. Payment can be made via Venmo, check, or money order.
