TO LEARN OR BRUSH UP ON CRAFT, GET VALUABLE FEED-BACK FROM THEIR  
FELLOW WRITERS AND THE INSTRUCTOR, LEARN TO "THINK LIKE A WRITER" AND  
GAIN THE CONFIDENCE TO TELL STORIES THROUGH THE WRITTEN WORD. PLEASE

YOUR WRITING.

MANUSCRIPT LINE EDIT AND CONSULTATION with Scott Lax

Description: Scott Lax will line-edit your essay, short story,  
nonfiction manuscript or novel and suggest possible changes in plot,  
character development, setting, pacing, dialogue; or, where  
appropriate, leave it alone and let you know what works and why.

• Rate: $75/​hr. reading, analyzing, and consulting. Two-hour  
minimum.

• Sample rates for 12 pt. font, double-spaced work:

• Short story 15 pages or fewer: 1 hour read and 1 hour meeting - $150

• Novel 200 pages: 13 hour read and 2 hour meeting - $1,125

Not sure if you are ready to take this step? You can book an initial  
consultation for $60, by phone, e-mail, or in person, not to exceed  
one hour. This will not include reviewing you manuscript, but rather a  
discussion about your writing experience and goals.
