That's great. My book is 500,000 words. Is that okay? LOL It's an omnibus.
As long as it's ready for proofing, and you're ready to pay $650 for it and wait a month, I've got nothing against it :D That's basically 5 books. Plus, I have regulars every month, so I'd have to put it down every now and then.

If you need me, just use the website to submit your monster book!

I'm leaving on vacation, so I'll be unavailable for 10 days or so, but feel free to submit your books via the website.
The number of submissions for September and October will be limited to 4, so please book a slot in advance, if you need me. (I have regulars who submit a book every month, too).
Submissions for August are now closed.

NEW SERVICE - SAMPLE CRITIQUE ($50)

It's been a while since I updated this topic, with all the work I've been getting from my regulars :) But I figured I can find a bit of time for a new service, especially, since many authors who contact me are only publishing their first book.

Authors often ask me what I think of their books, and I'm happy to help and share my thoughts and all, except it feels a bit backward, to point out issues that won't be fixed anyway. You need critique way before proofing and editing, so you can actually apply everything you've learned, and fix the problems before you spend hundreds of dollars on editing. Besides, the idea of revising the whole book instead of spotting your mistakes right away and working on them as you go has always bothered me.

That's why I decided to offer a new service - sample critique.

I will read the first few chapters of your book (up to 10K) and give you a detailed critique. I will analyze your writing style, setting, characterization, plot, point of view, worldbuilding; point out grammar errors and poor word usage; fix sentence structure and plot holes. Plus, I will give you an honest and (mostly) objective opinion of your opening chapters, characters, story, etc.

I'm mostly doing this for new authors, but of course, everyone is welcome to submit their book via my website and see if I can help improve their writing.

P.s. if anyone needs me for proofreading, November 14th and 21st are open!

Alexa is a fantastic proofreader. Her work is so thorough--she caught mistakes that others passed right over! She has proofread three books for me and I could not be more pleased with her services. Thanks Alexa!!!
