MANUSCRIPT EVALUATION

A Manuscript evaluation is a substantive read-through of your novel, which provides the same insights as a developmental edit but without the same microscopic focus. If you're just looking for some feedback, than this package would be perfect for you.

  • ONE Read through of the manuscript 

You have the option between  letter-focused or marginal comment-focused feedback, for each this would look like:

 

  • LETTER-FOCUSED (8-20 pages)

    • Up to 20 pages of detailed feedback on plot, structure, believability, marketability, character, etc.
       

  • COMMENT-FOCUSED

    • A heavily annotated manuscript with in-line comments, questions, and thoughts. 

Both include: 

  • 40-MIN VIDEO CALL to discuss the feedback (optional)
     

  • MONTH-LONG ACCESS to me via e-mail

    • After you've had some time to review the feedback, I'll be available for any questions, brainstorming, etc. ​
