C.J. Marie | 6 comments Hi there. My publisher is wanting to read something new I've written. I'm supposed to send the first 10 pages, and I'd love for someone to give it a run through with an editor's eye and give any feedback--basically if it makes sense and is enticing.

I know it's not a huge job, but I've got more writing of full manuscripts for more work.

Thanks,
Emily

P.N. Elrod (pnelrod) | 90 comments What you want is exactly what I have been doing for the last 29 years in countless groups, workshops, and conventions.

My rates are usually higher, but I ran a special from my Facebook wall: 10 pages for 10 bucks and will hold to that.

I give you the exact feedback and reaction you'd get from any acquisitions editor from a commercial publishing house.

I have worked as a slush editor and know what grabs and what doesn't, can find spots that need work, whatever you need.

My website is retired, but you can check my bibliography on Wikipedia to see the collections I've edited that include writers you've heard of, many on the NYT bestseller list.

Heidi Shoham | 2 comments Hi Emily,
Besides working with many indie authors over the last 13 years, I've also worked with 3 publishers, taking pitches, picking books out of slush, and writing up spec projects for authors. I think I can offer you what you're looking for and would love to chat.
You can check out my website for examples of some of the books I've worked on and see some testimonials.
As you said, this would be a small job, but I'd be willing to work something out with you so we could use it as a way to see if we'd be a good fit for future projects.
Hope to hear from you.
cheers
Heidi
