Travel Book Manuscript Critique

Update – I’m not taking on new clients at the moment. Please join my Genius Loci newsletter to get notified when I’m available again.

Do you have a solid draft of a travel book or memoir? Get detailed, substantive feedback on your completed manuscript.

Don’t have a draft manuscript yet? Consider my travel book concept critique.

How it works

Send me an email ([email protected]) with the following information:
- Your first and last name
- Your manuscript draft in MS Word format
- A full description of your travel book idea
- Your background as a writer
- What major doubts, concerns, or sticking-points you have or envision
- What main questions you have
I’ll send you an invoice and a contract with a due date if I think I can help with your manuscript
After you pay, I’ll begin working and complete the project by the due date (noted on the invoice)
We will schedule a time to talk via Skype or Zoom about your project for one hour

A substantive edit (sometimes called a developmental edit) using the track changes feature in MS Word
- I’ll focus on the big picture: organization, structure, pacing, voice, story, clarity, depth, etc.
A 1-page or more critique or assessment of your project
A 1-hour post-review meeting via Skype or Zoom
A clear plan for improvement

An evaluation of the market worthiness of your manuscript
Proofreading, copy editing, or a line edit (though, I may mark issues as I see them)
