MANUSCRIpT ASSESSMENT packages
Every serious author needs a manuscript assessment before querying or self-publishing their book.
I know what it’s like to want someone to look at your opening pages or tell you if you pulled off the twist or thoroughly examine your book to help you prioritize revisions.
Select from the offerings below and schedule your Free Consultation call.
