Reader Report: This is a read-through of the book and a 2-3-page memo on its readability, market potential and some thoughts about revision.  Price varies depending on manuscript length.  Call or write for quote.

Manuscript Analysis: This is a much more involved project that includes margin notes throughout the manuscript, a 3-5 page memo (often longer) discussing marketability and revision notes, with both general and specific examples of potential revision.  This also includes notes on target demographics and genre-specific adaptations, suggestions on how to pitch the book, sample query letter, and a list of agents and editors currently active in your genre.  Price varies depending on manuscript length.  Call or write for quote.

Mentoring: Sometimes you need a one-to-one relationship with a professional writer/editor who can guide you through the next steps of your writing project.  Whether you’re writing a book, trying to sell a manuscript, launching a magazine career, revising a play, or other project, the mentoring program gives you the personal attention you need.  Mentoring is $75/hour, sold in blocks of five sessions.  Mentoring can be done in person, via email or over the phone.
