FAQ
Do you use AI?
No, I do not use AI in any of my workflows
What format should I use when submitting my manuscript?
Either Microsoft Word or Google Docs. This way, I can add inline comments to your manuscript. If you provide me with a Google Doc, I will either request permission to edit or send you my email address.
Is there anything I should include in my manuscript to make it easier for you to read?
Yes, page numbers and each chapter starting on a new page. It makes it easier for me to reference in my reader report, when I can direct you to a specific page.
What is your process?
I read each manuscript twice. The first is just for the story. The second read is to write my reader report and add inline comments (this is an add-on).
Do you provide inline comments?
Yes, for an additional fee.
