Manuscript Evaluation

Manuscript Evaluation

A manuscript evaluation is my feedback on your manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses based on my experience as a book development editor, acquisitions editor, and literary agent.
I evaluate fiction in the following genres: romance (all subgenres), mystery, thriller, suspense, fantasy (all subgenres) and most science fiction. I don’t evaluate horror, children’s, or YA. For other genres, check with me first ([email protected])
The ms evaluation takes the form of a five-to-seven page revision letter that outlines my recommendations for your revision.
I charge $750 for manuscripts up to 65,000 words (fiction or nonfiction) and $1000 for manuscripts from 65,001 up to 100,000 words (fiction or nonfiction). Reach out to me for a quote if your manuscript is longer than that.
Manuscript evaluations typically take four-to-six weeks from the time of submission/payment. Email me first ([email protected]) to confirm deadlines.

To purchase an evaluation, please reach out to Jennifer ([email protected]) for a purchase link.
