2. Consultation + Agreement

Tell me a little about your book and why you wanted to write it. I will evaluate your work + recommend the level of service required to ready your manuscript (ms) for the publishing process. Most (but not all) of my authors self-publish.

We will have a 30-45 minute phone or Zoom conversation during which I will explain, with examples, what level of editing or proofreading service best suits your manuscript. I will ask about your intended audience, how you intend to publish + more. We'll come to an agreement on a fee + schedule.
