“Thanks for your good editing. I found a great agent, Claire Gerus, and she directed me immediately to Kaplan Publishing and yesterday a signed contract came through with a nice little advance and a commitment to publish my book. Your suggestions and encouragement were invaluable.”—Judge Irene Sullivan, author of Raised by the Courts
A proposal critique provides:
1) a line-edited proposal;
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.
Proposal critiques are completed in approximately two 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.
Proposal Critique Fee: $899
To schedule a proposal critique, please do the following:
1) Read Book Proposal Basics to be sure your proposal is complete and ready to be critiqued.
2) Go to the Categories page to determine if I work with your kind of writing.
3) Visit the FAQ page, as the answers to some of your questions may already be there.
4) E-mail the information requested below to marcelalandres@yahoo.com, and put “Proposal Critique Request” in the subject line.
