The first thing I need to know from a client

is what they dream of...

​

​​

​

• Do you want a manuscript developed or edited?​

• Do you want to land a publishing contract with a Big 5 or  medium-sized publisher?

• Is your dream to have all the prestige and quality of Big 5, while keeping the independence and control of self-publishing?

• E-book, paperback, hardcover, audiobook or all four?​

​​

​

No matter what your dream is, I've taken other writers there,

I can take YOU there.

$1,500 to $2,500

​

It all starts here.

The SNAPSHOT is my careful analysis of what your manuscript needs to land an agent, or publisher, or rise to the top of indie publishing. Find out what's right, what needs fixing, and what is spot-on. Susan Ouellette, Jonathan Brown, Jordan Brooks Hill, and M. Todd Henderson all started with a Snapshot.

​

I spend many hours, spread out over time, considering your work. A one-hour phone call or Zoom meeting is included so you can ask questions directly. A Snapshot can cut years off your learning curve. 

​

​​​​For some people, a Snapshot is enough. They take the notes and get to work on changes. Or they jump directly to agent queries. Some need Development, which is the next step in grooming a novel manuscript for commercial standards.

​

​

​

​

​

Some writers work best with a Roadmap of directions lifted from their Snapshot, and placed inside the manuscript, pinpointing what changes to make, where. I supervise that process, and we hand the work back and forth, ensuring you have a professional-quality manuscript.

Pricing: $1,500 and up depending upon requirements.
