and I worked together closely for six months on my manuscript. She is highly
professional in her writing and research. Working with her was very inspiring and
relaxing..
Thanks to her, my book has now been issued by Princeton Academic Press." John H. Hall

"Thank you so much for your perceptive critique of my novel. I knew it was bogged
down, but didn't know how to fix it. Your detailed analysis and specific suggestions
for editing hit the mark. Now that you've pointed these things out to me, I can see
that you're absolutely right.I'll send you the next draft as soon as I've finished
it."

theres a market for it?

Send it to me, letting me know what your goal is
for your writing project. Ill evaluate it, make suggestions to help shape it for its
market, then suggest probable publishing avenues.
Please send typed, double
spaced pages. My fee is $75 an hour. Unfortunately there is no universal
reading rate. Time varies with individual manuscripts, for both fiction and non-fiction works.

As a general estimate, you can expect the fee to
come to somewhere between $2 and $3 per page.
I suggest you send $150 with your manuscript.
I'll spend two hours with it, then get in touch to let you know where I am and to give you
my assessment of what is needed*. You make the decision from there.
*Editing and Book Doctoring are also available.
