A Note from Alice

No this isn't my desktop—it was my grandfather's, but I like the picture because it represents the old-fashioned values I believe in and apply in my work.

I've critiqued thousands of manuscripts at publishers and in my critique service, and I know that writers want the most professional help they can find to turn their manuscripts into books.

Here's what I promise you:
• thorough, accurate work
• reasonable rates
• prompt response
• advice on getting your manuscript
  published

Please check my credentials in Truths about Manuscripts, see the extent of my services in Here's How Alice 'n Ink Can Help You, and take advantage of my introductory offer in Special Introductory Offer.

I'm here to get you published in the most cost-effective way. If you take advantage of my special introductory offer, you will be able to judge my work at a reasonable price, and your manuscript will be returned to you within two weeks of its arrival at my office.

In addition I will tell you what the cost per page would be to complete the work. (The per-page rates I give on this website are only estimates. Many are far less.)

I always advise writers to try out an editor by sending intially no more than 55 pages to be critiqued and/or line-edited. Proceed cautiously. Find out what kind of work an editor will do for you before you spend hundreds of dollars. Perhaps you'll need to make changes in the work. A good editor will be able to judge that within the first three chapters. Why pay an editor to line-edit pages that you may never use?

Feel free to ask questions. That's what I'm here for.

Best wishes,

Alice Peppler
