Hi Cory,
Thanks for your question. The ambition of my manuscript evaluation service is to help authors eliminate repeated issues that keep readers from enjoying those authors' books. My hope is that once I evaluate a book or two, an author will get used to writing his/her book w/o those issues. I know that multiple levels of editing are expensive. I also know that authors willing diligently to work on improving their manuscripts can dramatically revise them themselves.

What is provided in a M.E. varies, but I decided to start the service because I know I can provide the kind of feedback that spills over into some of the many levels of editing. In addition, I have a natural inclination for digging out what might be thought of as "minor" inconsistencies and implausibilities. The fact is, when these issues are sprinkled throughout the novel and readers keep randomly encountering them, the readers' enjoyment is gradually weakened. Consequently, by the time and if they decides to take the time to finish the story, they come away from the book irritated and unfulfilled. (less)

“Be sure to find a way every day to rock your own world and to pat yourself on the back, the front, or whatever distance you can reach. In all probability ‘nobody does it better’ and self-appreciation is a serious key to self-success. Kathy Golden”

Thanks so much, Jake, for sharing this with me. You know this song is special to me. You are the best!

I've not tried a Goodreads ad, so let me know how that works for you and which one you chose.

Did you try out Book Barbarian?

Jake Taylor Kathy,
I've been following your recommendations for possible ads and yesterday my first ad in Goodreads was placed. Well, while looking here and there for other places I ran into this connection to a lovely song you are very familiar with. I thought of you and here is the link. Enjoy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nFE3...

I will follow up with your recommendations. Hope you run into my ad (Two Spheres) here in Goodreads. Best regards, Jake
