MANUSCRIPT EVALUATION

Want to know if your story works? Unsure what kind of editing—if any—it needs? Book a manuscript evaluation and receive:

  • A concise diagnostic report highlighting your manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses.

  • Clear recommendations for next steps (e.g. a round of copy edits).

  • A 45-minute follow-up chat to discuss the report’s findings and your questions.

BEST FOR

Writers with a complete draft seeking professional feedback: If you’ve completed your manuscript and want to receive professional feedback before querying agents, submitting to publishers, or investing in further editing, a manuscript evaluation is right for you. Especially useful for determining whether your manuscript is market-ready!

Writers seeking big-picture feedback but not a full developmental edit: A manuscript evaluation provides a broad overview of how your manuscript is doing, as well as some strategic suggestions on how it might be improved, but doesn’t go into as much depth as a developmental edit and doesn’t include sidebar comments on the manuscript itself. It’s perfect if you just want a “temperature check” on your novel.

Writers seeking affordable big-picture feedback: Manuscript evaluations are cost-effective. In fact, mine are always half the price of a full developmental edit.
