Contact me here and tell me about your project. Include genre and expected word count.
When I reply, I will ask you to email me (as attachments in Microsoft Word, doc or docx format):
- a 2- or 3-page summary of your book (single-spaced) between 800 and 1,200 words;
- brief descriptions of your main characters (2-3 paragraphs each will suffice); and
- the first 20-25 pages of your story (double-spaced) which should run between 5,000 and 7,500 words.
Once I have your information, we need to agree on scheduling. I will then email you an invoice.
After getting your payment, I will send you my assessment within the agreed-upon time frame.
Thanks for considering my services!
