Manuscript Evaluation

Is your manuscript publisher-submission ready? For $149 you will get you a
professional's detailed opinion
before you send the manuscript on to a
publisher or agent.

Your manuscript will be read cover-to-cover and evaluated for its readiness in
the following areas:

  • opening and closing scenes
  • plot development
  • action-pacing
  • characterization
  • dialogue
  • conflict
  • point of view
  • voice
  • setting
  • mechanics (spelling, sentence and paragraph structure, etc.)
  • organization

You will receive a 5-10 page report that focuses on overall readiness of your
manuscript, the strengths and weaknesses, and an evaluation of its market
potential. On top of email correspondance, you will also receive a 60 minute
phone consultation (can be split into 2 half hours) to discuss the report and
any questions you have. Extra phone consultation available at $40/ hour.

Upgrade to the Critique and Mentoring service and your payment will be
applied to the new service.
