Celebrating my 200th Post with a Gift for YOU

Dear Writers,

 In celebration of my 200th post, I'm offering a discount on my editing fees for YA and MG manuscripts.

From today until July 4th, my rate of $4 per page is slashed to $2.50 per page. All you have to do to lock in that rate until the end of the year is to send at least a 25 page installment of your book with payment before 7/4/16.

The price of $2.50 includes a full edit and an editorial letter outlining what’s working and what may need a closer look--plot, story arc, character development, conflict, sub-plots, and more. If you have questions or concerns, you're welcome to send those along as well.    

In most cases, an edit will take from a week to ten days for a completed draft, but you can also submit in installments and pay as you go. You're welcome to send by regular mail or submit electronically. I accept payment through PayPal or by personal check. 

Want to learn more? Simply e-mail with your questions or to find out how and where to submit: claragillowclark(at)gmail(dot)com 

Special BONUS: The first two to sign up will get an additional discount of .25 per page on a completed manuscript.

School Library Journal Review: K-Gr 3: This is the charming story of a picky eater who only wants one thing to eat - gazpacho. While most parents would be delighted if their children ate this Spanish vegetable-based soup, Nacho's mother desperately tries to offer him other dishes, including typical Spanish desserts, to no avail. In an attempt to get him to expand his culinary repertoire, his mother takes Nacho to the market; these illustrations will delight readers with large renditions of beautifully whimsical vegetables, such as vibrant green chiles and large plump tomates that will surely make an enticing and delicious soup. The text is integrated nicely on the spreads and easy to read. Though Latin inspired, this tale of a picky eater will resonate with many. It will make a fun read-aloud because of the rhyming text in addition to lending itself to interesting discussions about food, food avoidances, and trying new things. A recipe for gazpacho and a glossary of Spanish words with the language articles in parentheses are appended.—Maricela Leon-Barrera, San Francisco Public Library

Thank you, dear readers, for stopping by to join the gazpacho party. We really enjoyed your fun and thoughtful comments. 

I'll be back next week with something totally different! Author posts and giveaways will continue through the year! Author Jennifer Swanson is up next in June. Take it from me, she's fabulous!
