Pricing
Two prices, and nothing to work out. A chapter costs one thing and a whole manuscript costs the other, however long either turns out to be.
Your first chapter
Free
Up to 25,000 words, no card, once. Enough to see whether the letter is any use to you before you decide anything.
A chapter
$25
Up to 25,000 words. One chapter, several chapters, or a short story. Send them as you finish them; each read knows what the earlier ones said, so the notes build rather than repeat.
A book
$100
Up to 250,000 words, read as one thing. Problems that run across a whole manuscript are invisible chapter by chapter, and this is where they show up.
Reading it again
$50
For a manuscript that has already been read once and has changed since. Half price, because the groundwork is done: the second letter starts from what you fixed, what you left, and what you disagreed with.
Every read includes one revision. Argue with a finding, ask for more examples, or tell us we have misread the book, and the letter comes back answering that. It is part of the price rather than an extra.
Prices are shown without tax. VAT is added where it applies, worked out from where you are, and you will see the final amount before you pay.
