Manuscript Evaluation

You've poured your heart into your manuscript, but before moving forward with editing or publication, you want objective, constructive feedback so you'll know your story is as strong as possible. 

​

A manuscript evaluation provides a big-picture analysis of your manuscript's strengths and areas for improvement. My goal is to help you refine your story while honoring your unique vision and voice.

​

This service includes:

A comprehensive editorial letter assessing your manuscript for: 

• Plot & pacing: Does the story unfold in a compelling way? Are there slow sections or rushed moments? 

• Character development: Are your characters fully realized and engaging? Do their arcs feel authentic? 

• Setting & worldbuilding: Is the setting immersive and well integrated into the story? 

• Dialogue: Does the dialogue feel natural and purposeful? Does it fit each character's voice? 

• Narrative flow & readability: Is the prose clear and engaging? Are there any areas that might confuse readers? 

• Genre & audience alignment: Does the story meet readers' expectations within its genre? 

In-text comments (where applicable) to provide specific notes that clarify feedback or highlight
beautiful writing. 

​​Manuscript evaluation is right for you if:

• You want expert insight before diving into revisions or hiring a line or copy editor. 

• You're unsure whether your story structure, characters, or pacing are working effectively. 

• You need big-picture feedback, rather than a full developmental or line edit. 

Every great book goes through many revisions, and a manuscript evaluation can give you the guidance to revise with confidence. Please fill out the contact form to get started.
 

I can't wait to help you bring your story to life!
