Pump It Up! (Ala carte options for next steps)
If you’ve got a finished draft, you’re not done yet! Let me help you get that bad boy out there. Fees depend on length and complexity of your project; get in touch to discuss.
Manuscript evaluation: Substantive editorial review includes cover letter and manuscript comments all geared toward helping you write your revision. I’ll help you figure out your publishing journey, too (traditional? big house or indy? self-pub? hybrid?).
Full substantive edit: Everything you get from the manuscript evaluation plus a second round of edits on your revision and guidelines for moving forward.
Proposal writing or editing: I write a book proposal for your nonfiction book, including an edit of your chapter sample; or edit your existing proposal.
Query letter writing or editing
Submission management: I do the dirty work—research agents and editors and tailor your query letter to each one.
