Order one of the listed critiques using the Paypal cart or contact me using the contact page on my website. Tell me what you are interested in. Please include any particular questions you wish addressed in your email and inform me if there is a specific time that you need the critique back by. If I cannot complete the critique by the date you need it, I will inform you and not take on the assignment. Once we have agreed on the assignment, I will send you an electronic invoice via email.
Payment is required before I begin working on your manuscript. Payment is accepted through PayPal with either a PayPal account or major credit card. No refunds will be issued once I begin doing your critique as you are paying for my time and cannot give that back to me. If you are unsatisfied with your critique in any way, I will attempt to address reasonable concerns with a follow up email. All critiques are done electronically and must be submitted as a .doc file, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt font. Standard submission format. |

"I've often heard an editor compared to a physician. A doctor must first make a diagnosis. That’s what Roxanne did with my manuscript. Advice followed. First a major improvement. Then a minor setback. More advice. Voila! A healthy manuscript was born--and then sold! Her diagnosis was targeted for my particular manuscript and follow-up care was consistent. This could also be your remedy!"
