FAQ
How will you help prepare my manuscript for illustration in your "Perfect Manuscript" option?
We'll break up your text for different pages/illustrations and prepare notes for your future illustrator. I'll help you discover what style you want and your budget and tips for finding a high quality illustrator. I'll included resources and feedback!
What does your feedback letter include?
I'll offer feedback on the following sections of your manuscript: Plot and Structure, Character Development, Language and Style, Theme and Message, Readability and Flow, and Marketability. I also include valuable resources to teach you skills and improve your craft and understanding of kid lit.
How do I decide which package to purchase?
If you're unsure if your story is "good enough" for publication, purchase MANUSCRIPT REVIEW to get feedback on your story's quality, its marketability, and my letter of helpful resources. If you're ready to walk the publishing path, choose PERFECT MANUSCRIPT for full benefits!
What if I already purchased one of the lower tiers and decide to get PERFECT MANUSCRIPT?
Let me know so I can offer you a custom quote that credits what you've already paid.
