About This Market
Joyce Sweeney, published author of 14 books, has been critiquing manuscripts for over 25 years. Many of her clients have gone on to publish the novels they’ve worked on with Joyce.
You will receive a complete line-edit - grammar, punctuation, etc. Plus a two to three page single spaced overview of your work with a view to making it ready for publication. You can also schedule telephone consultations about your manuscript, your marketing plan, issues with agents and editors, etc.
Joyce's rate is $2 per double spaced page, plus SASE for manuscript return. Joyce works in hard copy only. Writers get a line edit and an overview, usually 2-4 single spaced pages long, depending on the issues. **Joyce has a $25 MINIMUM, which means your projects must be 13 pages or more.**
To contact Joyce: email her at joyce@joycesweeney.net. Put "WordHustler/Manuscript Critique" as the subject line. Once Joyce approves you to send her your manuscript, submit and pay through WordHustler.
When you are sending your work, be sure to calculate the $2/page total for your manuscript, and add $5 for the return postage, so Joyce can send your manuscript back to you. If you are an International Client and your document is under 10 pages, be sure to choose the Virtual Office option so we can scan and email your results back to you. There is an additional charge of $5 every 50 pages for manuscripts over 10 pages, so be sure to add that to your order as well.
