TIMELINE FOR BOOK-LENGTH MEMOIR MANUSCRIPTSโ
The approximate turnaround time is generally 2-3 months.
This service runs a flat rate of $1,400 for up to 75,000 words and $15 per 1,000 words after that. For 1-month expedited review: additional $500.ย
This is a big-picture evaluation editorial letter of about 6-10 pages that addresses the manuscript at the story, structure, narrative drive, and development of the theme. This includes an hour-long follow-up conversation to discuss the feedback to help the writer begin their next revision with confidence, fresh eyes, and focus.
MEMOIR COACHINGโ
Suitable for shorter pieces and book-length manuscripts.ย
This evaluation helps tease out where the tension in the piece lives beyond the story already on the page, clarifies what the memoirist is searching to understand (i.e., the story hidden within the story), and assists with building tension and action in the novel the manuscript.
Rates for reading pages as above plus real-time consultation via phone or Zoom.
Consultation rate: $70/hr
