Matt Bondurant
Manuscript consultation
FICTION: I provide a full manuscript analysis for writers who have completed a draft of a book or a partial and need feedback. Each manuscript analysis includes: 1.) a manuscript read and light markup, 2.) an extensive written report about the book's strengths and weakness, with suggested solutions for issues, and 3.) a one-on-one consultation via phone or Skype.
$5 a page, and we can develop a timeline suitable for you.
SCREENPLAY: My rate for several pages of written critique, standard industry analysis grid, and follow-up emails/phone conversation is $250.
Have another type of writing project? Query letters, ghostwriting, etc. - contact me at bondurantmr@hotmail.com
"It’s a rare thing to be able to work with an award-winning author who not only is a master of the craft but also teaches it. Matt looks at the bones of my writing the way an engineer looks at plans for building a house. He can tell me when and why something isn’t working and what I should do to fix it. If Matt is available to look at your work, consider yourself lucky. He’s always got a book in the works, is a powerhouse as a screenplay writer, and has seen his work translated to film. I’ve gotten more practical help from Matt than I ever got in my creative writing classes."
-Sally Franco is a writer and editor who lives in Vermont and whose short fiction has appeared in
The Legacy, The North Texas Review, and French publishing house, Short Édition.
"Matt’s guidance and expertise were invaluable. His extensive notes, suggestions, and script coverage helped me resolve story issues that I have been struggling with for years. I learned more about writing from Matt than any writer’s conference or seminar I have ever taken. His gift of teaching enabled me to take my writing to the next level."
