For the initial comprehensive evaluation, the fee is $1,250 for all manuscripts up to 70,000 words. The fee for manuscripts greater than 70,000 words is based on word count. Please check with Mike for an estimate of your fee. All work subsequent to the initial evaluation will be billed at an hourly rate of $75.
Payment is by check or money order and in all cases must accompany your submission. Turnaround time is approximately six weeks. (Mike will give you a more accurate estimate of the current turnaround time.)
Mike also offers an introductory fifty-page evaluation for $350. If we proceed beyond that point with the balance of the manuscript, the $350 will be deducted from the full evaluation fee.
Please contact Mike first before submitting anything. If you contact him by e-mail, include your synopsis (or an overview for non-fiction) and the first three-four pages of your manuscript.
Payment via PayPal is now available.
