The reason for the hiatus... I (Karen Moulding) am now the full-time single mother to a lively three year old girl named Fin...who of course demands I tell her several new stories a day.
We are back in the East Village (and often in Los Angeles) and another writing workshop is in brew. (Perhaps also a workshop conducive to parents. Please stay tuned.) MEANWHILE, I am thrilled and excited to accept manuscripts for individual editing and critique via email or snail mail. New rates and terms are here.
Kisses to all from my new side-kick Fin and hope to read your work very soon.
PRIVATE EDITING AND CRITIQUES
I provide private editing and critiques of all forms of writing, including novels, memoir, academic or legal writing, articles, and resumes and cover letters.
The service includes a thorough over-all critique of how the piece is
working, and suggestions for final polish, as well as line-by-line edits
and suggestions. For stories and novels, each element of the craft is
thoroughly analyzed and addressed, including plot, character, setting,
theme, style, pacing and voice.
Rates:Fiction, memoir, non-referenced work by native English speakers:$10 per page, $200 minimum ($200 for a single unit/critique of 20 pages or less).
Discounts for longer works:
10% discount for a single unit (single critique, for example the first half of a novel) of 100-199 pages.
15% discount for a single critique of 200 or more pages.
Discounts for frequent, on-going critiques:
Writing that is sent for critique in at least monthly intervals (for examples, novel chapters), will receive the discounts once 100 pages (10%) or 200 pages (15%) are reached, and will continue at the discounted rate as long as the writing is received monthly.
Rush rate (48-hour per 100 pages):
$12 per page ($240 minimum). Bulk discount does not apply.
Rate for referenced or academic work or work by ESL speakers, or writers desiring extensive help with grammar and correctness:
$12 per page ($240 minimum). Bulk discount does not apply.
Legal editing/professional publication editing negotiated separately.
A "page" is 12-point Times Roman font, double-spaced, one-inch margins.
Work is generally emailed, and is returned to the writer by email with comments and edits directly on the document (with "Track Changes," so that the writer may reject or accept the suggestions at will), and with a separate over-all critique.
