Manuscript Evaluation
Clarity. Confidence. A plan that actually works.
You’ve written a full manuscript, and that’s no small thing. But now you’re wondering, "Does it hang together? Does the plot land? Are the characters carrying their weight?"
You want to revise with purpose, not guesswork. You want feedback that’s clear, insightful, and kind. But honest. You want to know whether the book you’ve written is the book you meant to write.
That’s where I come in.
The Transformation
This isn’t just a red-pen exercise. It’s a deep, structured evaluation that leaves you with:
-
Confidence in your story’s potential: You’ll know what’s working and why it matters.
-
A clear sense of what to revise (and how): No vague “it needs more tension” - you’ll get targeted insights you can use.
-
A book that reads like the version in your head: Sharper structure, stronger momentum, deeper resonance.
