I am offering editing and workshop services to fund my graduate school application and other needs. My USD rates are higher to take into account Paypal conversion, transfer fees, and value difference. Here are the editing services I offer:

• Poetry Workshop: Critique and feedback on the craft of your poetry, focusing on the poetic line, sound, metaphor, and structure. This entails a line-by-line annotation and a discussion session via Zoom. 
  • At least ₱4,000 / $90 for up to three (3) poems, one page each poem. Turnaround is two (2) weeks unless otherwise stated. Add-on service of ₱1,000 / $30 if you wish to turn the video discussion into written commentary.
• Sensitivity Reading: Critique and feedback regarding sensitive content in the manuscript. This entails a file with organized comments and suggestions and the live commentary of the first read and, if necessary, a discussion session, either through chat or video.
  • At least ₱4,000 / $90 per short form fiction (up to 5,000 words). Optional add-on service of ₱2,000 / $55 should formal critique become necessary. Turnaround is two (2) weeks unless otherwise stated.
  • [CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE] At least ₱18,000 / $380 per book-length manuscript (up to 60,000). Optional add-on service of ₱10,000 / $230 should formal critique become necessary. Turnaround is two (2) months unless otherwise stated.
