                    Have You Considered an Appraisal?

                    A full edit can be a big outlay, but it can also be the best thing you ever did for your writing. Having said that, there is another option. Before you start the laborious process of hawking your work around, or before you immortalize it as an e-book, why not pay a minimal fee of just $380 to have it read in entirety and critically assessed? An assessment is not as comprehensive as a full edit, sure, but for just $380, Karin will read your manuscript of 65,000 words or fewer and provide you with a detailed report, complete with illustrative examples taken from your own work, that will show you how you can improve your writing.

                    She'll point out your peccadilloes and highlight ways you might improve your style, plot or overall submission, as well as making some mark-ups in your PDF file, which will act as examples for you to follow. That's a small price to pay for tailor-made advice from an industry professional.

                    While you won't receive the full editing treatment with corrections and explanations made for you in MSWord, like those who invest in a substantive edit will, you will get some tips on things that might irk a traditional publisher and you'll have the choice of making the changes yourself or sticking with what you have. And for just a small outlay you'll get a professional opinion and industry-insider tips. Most of Karin's clients are blown away by how helpful it is to have an experienced editor comment on their work. Click here to contact Karin about this or here to sample some of her work.
