“You deserve some sort of award for astute observation and an ability to see where major problems are in a manuscript. Every point you made is something that I either hadn’t considered or thought I could get away with.”—R.T. Jordan, author of Remains to be Scene
A manuscript read provides:
1) a complete reading of your manuscript by me; and
2) verbal feedback via phone for up to one hour.
Manuscript reads are completed in approximately two weeks. To reserve a spot on my calendar, I require payment and a signed consultation agreement. Payment can be made via Venmo, check, or money order.
Manuscript Read Fee: $399
