Book Reviews
I provide book review services through IP Book Reviewers, the review site I co-host with writer/editor Bettie Corbin Tucker. During my nearly seven years as a reviewer, I have reviewed books for best-selling author John Locke ("Lethal People," 2009), teen activist Lauri Burns ("Punished for Purpose," 2010), top wedding photographer Gary Fong ("The Accidental Millionaire," 2009) and an array of self-published authors.
Please submit all review requests through the IP Book Reviewers' website.

Manuscript Evaluation
A manuscript evaluation or critique involves an in-depth reading of an author's manuscript to determine its strengths and weaknesses. The areas of focus include plot, story pacing, character development, and grammar.
Each section will include a detailed description of the parts of the story that the author has been successful in developing and the areas where more work is necessary. A summary of the findings is provided at the end of the critique with suggestions on how to strengthen the book. Most critiques span 5 -10 pages. The rate of a manuscript evaluation is $3.00 per page of material submitted for critique (50 page minimum). I welcome self-published and eBook authors as clients.

Ghostwriting
I offer ghostwriting services for SEO web content in the areas of mental health, writing, parenting and career preparation. I am also available to pen query letters and synopses for book proposals as well as assisting non-writers with preparing their stories for publication.
