Description and Pricing of the available services:


Manuscript Analysis & Evaluation: $0.008 per word, with a minimum of $75

Do you think your manuscript is ready for publication? Don't send your query, or publish, until you have had an unbiased third party examine your manuscript. With a Manuscript Analysis & Evaluation from BookGirlR you will get a written, in-depth analysis of your manuscript from a reader's point of view. Is the plot attention-grabbing? Is your point of view consistent? Does the setting seem accurate? Is your world building detailed enough? Are your characters believable? Do they speak in a realistic manner? Does the manuscript seem to need more editing? And if so why? What are the strengths of the manuscript? What are the weaknesses?

-The Manuscript Analysis & Evaluation is a thorough read through of the manuscript, and a 1-3 page analysis and evaluation. Please note that this is not editing and should come after you have finished your own editing and proofreading. Nothing in your manuscript will be changed. A manuscript evaluation is an honest opinion of your work, kind of like a review.



Proofreading/ Minor Line Edits/ Copy Editing: $0.02 per word, with a minimum of $100*

Every writer needs an editor. It's hard to edit your own work; you know what you are trying to say, and can sometimes gloss over missing words, inconsistencies or grammatical and spelling errors. This is mostly a technical editing process, BookGirlR will not rewrite passages or sentences except when fixing minor issues. Some things that BookGirlR will look for, or do, when editing your manuscript are:

- fix grammar, spelling and punctuation errors, typos, and run on sentences

- check for internal consistency (are Sarah's eyes hazel on page 2 but blue on page 78?)

- check for overused words or phrasing, clichés, and broad generalizations

- point out areas of confusing action, or areas of unclear meaning, and offer constructive suggestions for rewrites

-point out redundancies, narrative and dialogue that can be tightened up, and offer constructive suggestions for rewrites

-point out boring language, passages that fail to keep the readers' attention, telling instead of showing, and offer constructive suggestions for rewrites
