I'm testing Karlove with writers' drafts and using their feedback to improve it. If you try it, I'd like to hear what helped and what didn't.
You'll get an editorial letter with notes linked to your pages. One revision of the letter is included if you'd like a point explained or reconsidered.
Prices after the test phase
The prices below will apply after the test phase. Anything you send during the test will stay free.
Your first chapter
Free
Up to 25,000 words
For your first read. No card needed, so you can try the feedback before paying for another read.
A chapter
$25
Up to 25,000 words
For one chapter, several chapters or a short story. Earlier letters and your feedback help put each new reading in context.
A book
$100
Up to 250,000 words
Read together. This gives the analysis room to look at how the chapters connect and how the story develops across the book.
Reading it again
$50
A revised whole manuscript
After a paid full read. The new letter takes account of the previous letter and your feedback. It costs half the full-book price.
Every read includes one revision of the letter. You can ask for more examples or explain where the feedback has misunderstood your book. If you send rewritten pages, that counts as a new read.
Prices exclude tax. Any VAT is calculated at checkout, where you'll see the total before paying. The word count includes your manuscript and any book description you provide.
