Beta Reading

This is a gut reaction to the story.  Can I see what you are trying to tell me?  Are the characters believable? Can I follow the plot or subplots? Are there any gaping holes? I will answer a few specific questions or concerns you may have as the author. 

FEE:   Starting at $100, depending on the length and condition of the manuscript.  Contact me for an exact quote.

Coaching

After being asked by several authors for help staying on schedule, I started this service. 

This is a weekly check with authors to review their progress, brainstorm solutions to problems, writing block or any issues they are dealing with.   

FEE:  $40 an hour

Proofreading

A read for grammar, typos, formatting errors – all those little things that can help a book be more polished.
