I am thinking of getting a critique of my narrative non-fiction manuscript from a specialist. Has anyone done so? Did it help? How much does it cost? Thanks.

I am obviously new to this online community. I used to find AWWC through Google searches. I did search here on the topic of manuscript critique, but not far enough. Sorry if I offended you. Thank you for your suggestions. This is the first "timely" manuscript I have ever written, so I tend to speed.

Sometimes my little jokes are taken too seriously. It's the cost of being a smart aleck, I guess.Alexandra said:

Good luck!
OMG, you mean I have to pay the costs for a lifetime of smartalecktude? They're probably going to have to break my kneecaps.Silver King said:
Maryn, who can't earn it at the rate she can smart-aleck it

Hey! Come along and join us in Mac's little diabolical, write-in-a-new-style scheme. You'll pay all your penalties and then some by the time a week's done and gone.
You're a better man than I, Gunga Din.
(Easy, since I'm a woman and therefore not much of a man.)
Maryn, pretty sure she couldn't change as much as would be required

I promised Lori I'd pay a visit to that thread. And I did. That's as far as I got. Once I understood what was at stake, I realized my penance would be much better served here.Maryn said:
Go forth and sin no more.
Or go fourth and sin all you want. In the immortal words of our daughter, "What-ever!"
Maryn, glad she outgrew that

On the contrary, Silver. I think you'd be an excellent candidate to participate in this experiment. One of the elements of your writing regulations could be to express jokes in a way the reading public will understand them. It takes a conscious effort to select proper coherent wording. Naturally you’re quite talented at this, however it could be an exercise that would assist others in comprehending your humor. You would be a greatly appreciated addition to the group.Silver King said:
