Many thanks for your useful critique of my manuscript, Running Mate. You raised many points that I hadn't thought of, which was exactly what I'd hoped you'd do. The critisms were constructive; I'll take them and learn from them. Should anyone ask me for a good critique service, I'll recommend your business.
Please find enclosed the completed manuscript for Forever In Your Arms. I would like a light edit done over the whole book. I have gone through the book and with your suggestions and comments reworked and cut the book. I feel the finished product is stronger and I am very proud of it.
I want to thank you for all your help you have given me. Your suggestions and comments have really helped me succeed in fininshing this. Now to only have it published, my dream would be complete.
I have enclosed half of the price you quoted me over the phone. Once we are done with this, I'Il be sending my second book. I look forward to your comments and thoughts on this completed manuscript.
Thank you very much for your critique of Rules of the Heart. Your suggestions are sound and to the point. They will help me rethink my revision of the manuscript. I am encouraged by the parts you say worked, and I can see what I must change. I had already made some major alterations in the manuscript, none of which affects what you responded to.
I belong to two writing groups and I wondered if you had flyers I could distribute. As writers we are concerned about fraudulent claims for editorial help. I would be pleased to refer your service to my fellow writers who are in need of outside, knowledgeable readers. I will give them your name, of course. If you do have flyers, I would need about forty.
Thank you again. I am sure I will use your service again, if not with this manuscript, then with my next. I will certainly tell you when my book is published. I think it has a good chance now when I complete my revising and editing.
I was pleased with your critique and am in the process of rewriting the novel using your suggestions. It will probably take several months before completion and at that time I am considering a line edit. If you feel this is a good route to take please send me information regarding the cost.
At the end of your critique you said to let you know when I get published. Ms Kleinmartin that is my ultimate goal, but I am not very adept at putting a 65,000 word novel into a two page query letter. I am fully aware that I must first perfect the manuscript, and with The Sounding Board's help I'm positive that can be accomplished.
Thank you for your critique and line edit on my manuscript. I have made the changes you sugested and am very happy with the way it reads. I can't believe I can write that well.
I feel as though you are my book's personal trainer. I gave you slow, flabby writing, and you have given me back a lean mean fighting machine. Thank you.
