I am offering paid services to authors to help with their manuscripts via beta reading and synopsis critiques. In addition, I offer marketing services in the form of reading over query letters to bloggers, synopsis critiques, and more.
Please send me an email to hello@booksandladders.co.uk
to book your spot today!Specific completion dates can be done upon request, however rush turnaround time will result in additional charges. If I do not think we will be able to finish reading and editing before the end of four weeks, I will email you and give you an updated timeline.
I read through your manuscript for the following items:
- characterization,
- plot,
- motivation,
- setting, and
- pacing.
I provide in text comments, usually about where I feel lost or confused on a topic or think there should be more information, as well as a summarized review that goes into details of the items listed above as if I was writing a review of the completed novel.
You also have the option of receiving an additional worksheet with specific questions that I have created over time, as well as specific questions you have about your manuscript based on areas you think need improvement. This is an additional $30 USD.
I require 50% up front and 50% before sending over my final notes and the marked up manuscript. The first 5,000 words are free for both of us to get a sense of how the other works and to make sure that this is a working relationship we want to continue. Thereafter, I charge $0.002 per word.
For delivery times, I have four options for you:
- Standard: 4 weeks from the date of 50% of the invoice paid and the manuscript landing in my inbox.
- Two Weeks: 14 days from the date of 50% of the invoice paid and the manuscript landing in my inbox.
- One Week: 7 days from the date of 50% of the invoice paid and the manuscript landing in my inbox.
- Long Weekend: Three Days from the date of 50% of the invoice paid and the manuscript landing in my inbox.
Example Pricing Structure
For example, if your manuscript is 80,000 words, the base price would be $150 USD ((80000-5000)*.002).
If you choose to add on the worksheet and expedite it to two weeks (14 days) for the completion time, your total would be $190 USD (((80000-5000)*.002)+30+10).
I work full time and therefore have a set amount of each of my services to offer every month. If my schedule is full for the month you request, I will offer you my next available spot.
I am now booking for Winter 2022! Click on the service you would like to purchase to learn more about it and the pricing structure.

Please note that while I do my best to read manuscripts for inconsistencies and areas of improvement, my services do not guarantee that your manuscript will be published.
