As a writer, writing teacher, and former editor of children's books, I've been offering manuscript critiques for years, including as a mentor through the SCBWI advanced picture book mentorship program. I charge $75/hour, and I'm fast and thorough; many of my clients are repeat customers. Depending on your needs, I can provide a critique, describing the ms.'s strengths and areas for improvement along with suggestions for revision, or a more detailed line edit with a cover letter similar to a critique. My primary interest is fiction and nonfiction picture books and fiction chapter books up to 80 manuscript pages. Reach out to me at cindy[at]cindykane.net (replacing the [at] with the @ sign) with a description of your project, including the manuscript page length and the level of critiquing/editing you would like, and I can give you a time frame for completing your critique. I can also check in with you after I receive the ms. and provide a guesstimate as to how many hours my work will take.
