picture books
First Edit:
What you’ll get:
A complete critique of one picture book manuscript, up to 2,500 words.* Time frame for completion is within 1 week of receipt of manuscript.
This includes notes on the document itself (done in track changes) and a separate summary of editorial guidance.
The focus will be on character development, plot, pacing and overall story arc. additionally, for rhyming manuscripts, I will address rhythm, rhyme and syntax.
This critique will be followed up with a 30-minute phone conversation for your questions.
What it costs: $135 (payable upon receipt of invoice via PayPal: any fees are the responsibility of the payer.)
Second Edit:
What you’ll get:
A second look at your revised manuscript, commenting on the changes you have made and offering suggestions for future revisions. You will receive a complete analysis of the direction your revision is taking.
What it costs: $50 (payable upon receipt of invoice via PayPal: any fees are the responsibility of the payer.)
Subsequent Edits will follow the same framework as the second edit, including cost.
* In order to be considered by most agents/publishers, picture book manuscripts must be no more than 1,000 words. I accept manuscripts of up to 2,500 words, with the understanding that the edit will include suggestions for cuts to get it down to an acceptable length.
