"Pat and I worked together closely for six months on my manuscript.  She is highly professional in her writing and research.  Working with her was very inspiring and relaxing..
Thanks to her, my book has now been issued by Princeton Academic Press."

"Thank you so much for your perceptive critique of my novel. I knew it was bogged down, but didn't know how to fix it.  Your detailed analysis and specific suggestions for editing hit the mark.  Now that you've pointed these things out to me, I can see that you're absolutely right.I'll send you the next draft as soon as I've finished it."
Michael Pendergast

  Want to know if your manuscript works? 

   How to improve it? 

   If there’s a market for it? 

   How to make contact with likely publishers?

   Or need advice on whether it will do well as a self-published work?

Send it to me, letting me know what your goal is for your writing project. I’ll evaluate it, make suggestions to help shape it for its market, then suggest probable publishing avenues. 

Please send typed, double spaced pages. My fee is $75 an hour. Unfortunately there is no universal reading rate. Time varies with individual manuscripts, for both fictional and non-fiction works.                                                                                        

As a general estimate, you can expect the fee to come to somewhere between $2 and $3 per page.

I suggest you send $150 with your manuscript. I'll spend two hours with it, then get in touch to let you know where I am and to give you my assessment of what is needed*. You  make the decision from there.
