The opening bids are high, probably because starting at $5.00 with $5.00 increments takes forever. So if you, like most of EE's minions, are barely scraping by, this probably isn't for you. But if you make charitable contributions every year, and get nothing in return other than a tax deduction and the satisfaction of helping some worthy cause, here's your chance to get back all of that plus get your book proofread, edited, and critiqued by EE.
In the Brenda Novak auction, this item has brought an average of about $2400 over the past five years. But not as many people know about this much smaller auction, so you could win me for the minimum bid.
While I make no guarantees, the last person to win one of my full edits has sold her book to Sourcebooks, and will see it in print in April.

I would expect this would be especially tempting for those of us with novels much longer than the "allowed" word count for our given genre.
How soon must the MS get to you?
Doesn't matter to me. Of course it would be unfortunate if I died before it got here.
