Manuscript Evaluation

Feeling lost on what your manuscript needs before you dive back into the next draft, but don’t want a full developmental edit?

I’ll provide an evaluation of your story’s strengths and areas for improvement, focusing on plot, pacing, characters, and overall impact to help you take the next steps with confidence.

How it works

  1. First, let’s get to know each other! You can send through a request for a sample edit of the first 10 pages of your manuscript and/or we have a free discovery conversation to discuss your project, what you’re looking for, and answer any questions you have about the process. It also lets us get a feel for each other and see if we’d be a good fit to work together!

  2. Next, we choose the timeframe for the edits to be completed, both sign the editing contract, and you pay a deposit. (multiple payment plan options available)

  3. You submit your completed manuscript by the deadline specified, along with a style sheet if you have one. If you don’t have a style sheet, we’ll make one for your project together!

  4. I read your manuscript closely, analyzing it’s plot, pacing, character development, cohesiveness, logic, and themes.

  5. I write a comprehensive manuscript evaluation report, highlighting what is already working well in your novel, areas that could use additional development to strengthen your story, and my suggested next steps.

  6. I return your editorial letter for your review.
