Manuscript Evaluation
Feedback on your completed draft
$1400 (up to 80K words)
Have a completed manuscript, but you’re not sure what to do next? Can you tell there’s a problem with the story, but you’re not sure how to fix it? Even if you think your manuscript is ready, getting expert eyes on it is beneficial (if not, essential) before pitching agents or self-publishing.
The manuscript evaluation is designed to be completed in a month and includes the following:
An initial 30-minute call to discuss your story and publishing goals, including feedback on Author Accelerator’s Mini Blueprint for a Novel
In-line feedback on the first 50 pages of your novel
Multi-page editorial letter that provides comprehensive feedback over the entire manuscript, including strengths, weaknesses, and prioritized next steps (additional $150 per 5,000 words beyond 80K words)
One 60-minute video coaching call to discuss feedback
Response to emailed questions within 24 hours (business days)
After receiving a manuscript evaluation, you will have clear steps for getting your manuscript pitch or publication-ready.
Please note: After receiving feedback, writers may choose to add additional coaching support at a rate of $350 per deadline. Every deadline includes in-line feedback on outlines or pages (up to 5,000 words), an editorial letter, and a 60-minute coaching call. Types of additional support may include strategic input on structural changes, character development, and line edits.
Pitch Package
Get your materials in order so you can pitch agents with confidence
$1200
Have a manuscript you feel confident about that you’re ready to pitch to agents? You only get one shot at pitching an agent, so ensuring both your novel and pitch materials are solid is essential. The hard part is, pitch materials (query letter and synopsis) are a very different type of writing that many authors struggle with. That’s where having a book coach can help. Make sure the novel you worked so hard on is pitched with poise and professionalism.
The pitch package is designed to be completed in up to two months and includes the following:
An initial 30-minute call to discuss your publishing goals
In-line feedback on the first 20 pages of your novel and Author Accelerator’s Mini Blueprint for a Novel (please note the full manuscript is not evaluated)
In-line feedback on the query and synopsis, as well as a multi-page editorial letter summarizing the feedback and pitch strategy
One 60-minute coaching call to discuss feedback and pitch strategy
Up to three rounds of additional written feedback on query and synopsis after initial feedback
Response to emailed questions within 24 hours (business days)
After completing the pitch package, you will have a solid query letter, synopsis, and confidence that your novel’s first 20 pages are as strong as they can be, as well as a strategy for both finding and pitching agents.
Please note: if a manuscript evaluation is purchased first, $200 is discounted from the pitch package.
