In order to focus on my own projects, I will be closed to new clients until 2019 

If you've worked with me before, please let me know if you have a new project you'd like me to look at. 
Services

Submission Packages
I will address ways to make your work as strong as possible to capture an agent or editor’s attention. These packages include one pass with both overall and in-line comments.

  • Query Critique: $15
  • Query and first five pages: $35
  • Query and first ten pages: $55
  • Query and first twenty pages: $75
  • Query and first fifty pages: $120
  • Query, synopsis, and first fifty pages: $140

 A page in standard manuscript format has about 250 words. 

Reader Reports
I will read your entire manuscript and give you detailed, actionable feedback on your story (plot, characters, and setting) and writing (diction, tone, voice, and your common quirks). All reader reports also include a query critique.

  • $5 per 1k words
    • 12k novella = $60 (minimum)
    • 125k novel = $625 (maximum)

Payment Policies
All payments are made through PayPal. 
  • For projects under $50, I will invoice you once the work is completed.
  • For projects $50 and over, I will invoice you 50% before beginning work and the remaining 50% once the work has been completed. 
Why Work With Me?

  • I have a master’s degree in writing from Johns Hopkins University.
  • I've been in the query trenches and came out with an agent (Andrea Somberg at Harvey Klinger, Inc.) and a two-book deal (Carina Press/Harlequin).
  • My novels have received positive reviews from Library Journal, RT Book Reviews, and USA TODAY. 
  • I have more than ten years of experience in publishing and communications.
  • As a Pitch Wars mentor in 2016 and 2017, I looked at hundreds of queries and first chapters, and I know what makes a submission stand out.
  • I have experience editing and critiquing essays, short stories, blogs, website content, memoirs, and novels. ​
  • I understand what it’s like to have a book baby. You can expect me to provide honest feedback in a professional and compassionate way.
