Need a little help or advice on your nonfiction manuscript? Sometimes we just need fresh eyes on the subject. I can critique or edit your work or advise you on how and where to get it published.

The rate for any of the following services is $60/hour payable by check or PayPal and there is a minimum charge of 20 minutes/$20. If you live nearby you can mow the lawn or wash the car. The car really needs it.

None of these services come with any guarantee of any sort, including that you will be published. I can make your work look better but, ultimately, it's up to you to sell it.

   
Critiquing: I read the work and give you quite detailed and annotated written comment. Usually takes about one hour per thousand words, but you pay for whatever it takes me. I don't make the changes, I tell you what needs fixing and why and suggest changes. Email only, no phone, no postal. Attached files OK.     
Editing: I read and edit/rewrite the work. I make the changes but do not take the time to explain the whys of it—though you are free to ask if somethng seems wrong to you. Usually takes about one hour per thousand words but you pay for whatever it takes me. Email only, no phone, no postal. Attached files OK.     
Advice: I'm full of it, or so my friends say. I've been in the nonfiction biz a long, long time, on both sides of the editorial desk. By telephone or email, as you please, but not postal.     
Sorry, no fiction help here: Yes, it's true that I am working on several books in several fiction genres. But that does not (yet) make me any sort of expert.
(However—shameless plug here—my WritersCollege.com writing school has plenty of advice from people who know more than I do.
