Elizabeth Rusch enjoys mentoring new writers and helping bring out the best in a piece of writing. For freelance editing, critiquing and consulting, she charges $50/hour with a $50 minimum per piece.  

How does this work? You mail manuscript with a $50 deposit.  She estimates how long she thinks it might take. The deposit covers most picture books; long pieces really vary. She can provide written and verbal critiques (over the phone or in person) depending on your needs. Note that sometimes she prefers to talk with writers about their work because she has questions for the writer that can help inform her suggestions.
