Critique Read
This service gives authors clear, constructive feedback on their manuscript without a full edit. I focus on big-picture elements such as readability—flow, pacing, and clarity—while identifying developmental issues like plot holes, weak character arcs, or inconsistencies. I also evaluate marketability, considering how the story fits its genre, appeals to the target audience, and stands out in today’s publishing world. The result is detailed feedback that highlights strengths, pinpoints areas for improvement, and offers practical suggestions to help move your manuscript closer to publication-ready.
FEE: Starting at $250, depending on the length and condition of the manuscript. Contact me for an exact quote.
Proofreading
A read for grammar, typos, formatting errors – all those little things that can help a book be more polished.
FEE: Starting at $450 for 80K words – Sliding scale available.
