📄 Submission Guidelines
Thank you for your interest in Feathered Messenger Press! To ensure your manuscript evaluation is as helpful and targeted as possible, please review the following submission guidelines before completing the form:
✅ What to Submit
Sample Length: Please submit up to 10 double-spaced pages (approximately 2,500 words).
File Format: Submit your sample as a .doc or .docx file only.
Formatting: Use 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with standard 1-inch margins.
✅ If Your Sample is Part of a Larger Project
Include a brief summary (max 1 page) describing the full project’s scope, genre, and any relevant plot or character details. This helps ensure feedback is aligned with your story’s direction.
✅ What You’ll Receive
Your evaluation will focus on high-order concerns—story structure, character development, pacing, and voice— before low-order concerns — grammar, sentence structure, punctuation — and include suggestions for next steps. Feedback is designed to support your creative goals while honoring your unique voice.
✅ What This Service Does Not Include
Proofreading or copyediting
Full manuscript review (offered at a later date)
Line edits within the document
Evaluation of any K-12 or college writing assignments — I already went to school and did my work, it’s your turn.
Evaluation of any AI generated texts — if AI can write it, AI can edit it.
✅ Important Notes
Evaluations are based solely on the submitted sample and summary.
Turnaround time is typically 2-3 weeks, depending on demand.
After submitting, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your estimated completion date.
If you’re ready, head to the submission form and share your work. I look forward to reading your project!
