Example Project
Scope
Carlos has finished the first draft of his 80,000-word fantasy novel. He knows it needs some work, but he’s not sure where to start. He thinks an editor could help point him in the right direction, but he doesn’t think he’s ready to invest in a full edit at this stage. He contacts Elixir Editorial for advice and is recommended a manuscript critique. The report he’ll receive will help him with his own revisions right now and arm him with more information if he’s considering a full edit in future.
Estimate
The critique will take approximately 6 business days.
The estimated cost for Carlos’s manuscript critique is $720 plus taxes.
Excerpt
The excerpt below contains highlights from the three major sections of Carlos’s manuscript critique report: strengths, larger points to address and quick fixes. Carlos can ask questions to clarify the feedback.
