Overview
To ensure you receive quality editorial feedback in line with your intentions, I recommend that after reading your manuscript I provide you with a concise list of bullet points highlighting the editorial direction I will suggest in the full letter. Then, after we've discussed this list and you've approved, I will then read the manuscript a second time and write the full letter. This way, you are offered no surprises and can get right to the heart of the most important aspects of your revision process. You will get all of the best parts of receiving feedback (insight, clarity, eagerness to move forward), without all of the worst parts (creative differences, anxiety, self-hatred).
A former member of the editorial staff of Dutton (Penguin Random House), I have worked with New York Times bestselling authors and as a freelancer have facilitated the careers of a variety of authors, including an internationally bestselling novelist .
