Submissions:

If you wish to email me your manuscript, please create an attachment in a single file. Email submissions will be critiqued online, and returned via email attachment. If you prefer to send a printed manuscript, call me and I’ll provide you with a postal address. Please send your manuscript in a 12-point font, double-spaced, left justified, with pages numbered consecutively. Include a table of contents for non-fiction projects.  Screenplays must be submitted in typical screenplay format.

Turnaround time: 

Once I begin work, my turnaround time is generally one to two weeks for a full edit/critique, depending on the length of the manuscript. I usually have two or three manuscripts waiting on my desk, and my schedule varies as new projects arrive. I'll give you a definite date for completion of the critique upon receipt of your payment. If you know you'll need my service at a future date and you don't want to wait in line, you can reserve space by sending your payment in advance.

All manuscripts must be in English. I do not evaluate poetry, books for children, financial or technical writing, or pornography.
