FAQs –

How many words is "a page?" ~ 350-400
Should I send my prologue or first chapter? ~ Send whatever you would query an agent or editor with
Will you rip my work apart? ~ No way. We are nice people and we try really hard to be helpful and kind! 🙂
Can I send you the first page of the book I'm promoting? ~ This service is really intended for authors who are currently revising a manuscript. If you'd like to promote a published or soon-to-be-published, finished work, contact Marcy's other blog, The Unicorn Bell
