Consultations & Critiques

I recently joined the Manuscript Academy as a faculty member! Through the Academy, I am very excited to offer live consultations and written critiques on queries, synopses, proposals, and manuscript pages. Check out the options below to be taken to the appropriate page to sign up for these services.

Note: Consultations are posted monthly around the 5th and disappear once all sessions are accounted for. Critique opportunities continue into future months.

10-min Live Consultation

Let's chat about your book, query letter, or the first page of your manuscript via video chat or call to receive an insider's perspective on your publishing situation. Only one page will be reviewed during our meeting. Does NOT include written notes.

SCHEDULE A CONSULT

15-min Live Consultation (Query + 10-Page Read)

Send the first 10 pages of your manuscript (or proposal) to discuss. I'll read the pages and your query prior to the meeting so that our time is focused on discussing the best next steps for you and your manuscript. Does NOT include written notes.

Written Critiques

Receive written, personalized feedback on either your query, your first 10 pages, your synopsis, your first 50 pages, your first 100 pages, or your nonfiction proposal (the first 50 pages of it). This option does NOT include a live consultation---written feedback only.

Trying to figure out how to get started and/or whether traditional or independent publishing makes the most sense for you? Curious about the steps needed to find a literary agent and where you can begin your research? I'll be taking on clients for coaching on a case-by-case basis as my availability permits. If I'm not able to help, I may be able to point you to some resources that can. Use the contact form to inquire.
