In a manuscript evaluation, where I look at your characters and plot (for fiction) or general organization and writing clarity (for nonfiction) and give you a detailed evaluation of your book.
This phase is not about grammar or word choice per se. If you need just grammatical and spelling help, try out my copy editing or proofreading pages.
I charge 3.25 to 3.5 cents per word for manuscript evaluation. My hourly rate for additional developmental editing consultation is $70. To discuss your project and get a quote, contact me.
