Manuscript Critiques
Do you need someone who understands that your writing belongs only to you, someone who can suggest ways to polish the work without owning it?
For Short Projects:
For $2.00 a page, with a $50 minimum, we will provide a line edit and overview of your writing. We will show you the techniques that can place your writing a cut above what editors usually see.
For Book Length Projects:
Option one:
Critique of the first 50 pages and a synopsis-$100
Option two:
Critique of the entire book of 150 pages or more-$2 per page for the first
hundred pages and $1 per page after first hundred pages.
Manuscripts must be typed and double-spaced with a 12 point font.
Mail a hard copy to Walsh Writing Services, 16206 Slater Ave., Belton, MO 64012. A check made out to Suella Walsh must accompany the manuscript.
Please contact us before sending so we can give you a turn-around time, with regard to our other commitments.
We charge $75 per hour for a consultation meeting.

Terry Needham, author, When I was a Child.
There are not enough words to say how pleased I was with your excellent ideas and the help it has brought me. The best money I've ever spent. You have solved so many problems and seem to be able to go to the heart of the story.

Peter H. Green
Your professional insights and suggestions have really opened my eyes. It has given me a fresh perspective on the material that I was otherwise lacking.
Michael D. Smith.
You really did me a greater service than you can imagine as the writing groups we attended and the books we read did not nearly so greatly enlighten me and make as clear the sometimes simple steps one can take to enrich a story. Your ability to simplify the complex is rare and extremely valuable. Thank you for teaching me.
Trisha Ihasz
Thank you for the excellent job you did in reviewing/editing my novel, Toxic Shock. I certainly plan to call on your services again in the future.
