Full Manuscript Consultation Now Available
For a limited time, I'm going all in.
As you may know, I periodically teach writing workshops and lately have been offering private coaching for essays and shorter-length works. For years, when I’ve been asked whether I work on full-length manuscripts, I’ve always said no and then made referrals to the many capable editors I know who do such things. But since I have a little extra time in my schedule this summer and early fall, I’ve decided to offer this service on a limited basis.
Obviously, every manuscript is different, so no two arrangements will be exactly alike. Also, please keep in mind that I’m only accepting projects where I think I can be truly helpful. This is a matching process as much as anything else.
Here’s what’s included:
A full read of your manuscript
A written editorial letter with my thoughts on structure, voice, and next steps
An hour-long meeting on Zoom (or in person, if geography allows)
Turnaround is about one to two weeks from when I start. This is for full-length manuscripts — 40,000 words minimum. Pricing is as follows:
40,000–65,000 words: $7,000
65,000–90,000 words: $8,500
90,000+ words: $9,500-plus (let’s talk)
If you’re interested, email me at meghan@meghandaum.com with a brief description of your manuscript, its word count, and where it stands (finished draft, near-finished, etc.).
If you’ve forgotten that I’m a writer and not just a podcaster and event planner (sometimes I forget, too), here’s a bona fides refresher.
