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 $3 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.

The Individual Artist Fellowships program recognizes exemplary achievements by originating artists in their fields of endeavor and supports the contributions made by Nebraska artists to the quality of life in this state. This is a competitive program, where applicants are adjudicated by a professional panel according to the merit of their work. This is not a project grant. In other words, applicants do not make a submission to the fellowship program in order to receive money for a project that is planned or is in the works. Rather, it is designed to award outstanding achievement in work that has already been completed by the artist and is submitted for review.

18 years old or older and resident of the state of Nebraska for two years prior to the application date. A signed and notarized affidavit of residency is required to be on file at the NAC offices – to find out if one is on file, call the NAC offices: 402-595-2122; 1-800-341-4067. Forms can be downloaded from the NAC website.

- Cannot be enrolled in an undergraduate, graduate or certificate-granting program in the artistic field in which the application
is being made.
- Professional commitment to the artistic field in which the application is being made.
- Creator of work, not interpreter of the work of others.
- All previous fellowship winners.
- Only one application per person is eligible for review.

Because the grant categories are on a rotating schedule, the deadline for literature will not until November 15, 2011.

Applications are judged first and foremost on the quality of the work submitted, which includes innovation demonstrated by significant critical and aesthetic considerations explored through the art form. Please include sample work with the application.
