A. How much will it cost to have my manuscript proof-read or edited?
Each project is different; I charge per word or per page, whichever is most cost-effective for the customer. Longer works will cost more than shorter pieces.

Any writer has the possibility of being published if their work is as good as they can make it, and they've paid close attention to the standards of writing and publishing.
