#1: BOOKING INQUIRY 📋
This will help me know more about your story!
If I think we'd make a great writer-editor duo, I'll reach out to you so we can talk more about your manuscript! If you asked for a free sample critique, I will also return your submitted sample with in-line comments.
I want to help you as much as I can, so I may decline to accept you as a client if I don't believe I'll be able to provide substantial feedback or if I'm not your target audience.
If I think a different editor may be better suited for your work, I'll let you know so you can proceed to the next step of your publishing journey!
