Thorough, Compassionate Coaching for New Writers

MANUSCRIPT EVALUATION
Are you ready to take your manuscript to the next level? I'm here to help make your vision a reality. I will provide you with a thorough Manuscript Evaluation, a rigorous analysis of everything that needs to be addressed in your work.
If I'm not familiar with your manuscript, I'll need your thoughts on what you think is working and what isn't. Additionally, I'll ask that you complete a one-page book summary to give me an idea of the fundamentals of your story.
For an 80k word manuscript, I'll commit 4-6 weeks to reading your manuscript thoroughly and drafting an in-depth editorial letter, which will be an easy-to-follow guide of the most pressing issues in your work—and in what order to address them. This evaluation isn't a line edit although I'll make inline comments throughout your pages.
Once you've had time to reflect on the editorial letter, next steps, and inline comments, we'll have a call during which we'll discuss the feedback and agree on your journey into revision.
Now is the time to take your manuscript and make it even better!
INVESTMENT
Full manuscript (up to 80,000 words): $1875
For manuscripts longer than 80,000 words: $1875 + $22.50 per additional 1,000 words (or part thereof). Those manuscripts will also take longer to review.

Stuart was the first person, other than friends and family, to read my writing since I was at university, so of course I was a bit apprehensive sharing my baby - but as it turns out, I needn't have worried! I really looked forward to reading Stuart's comments because they were smart, insightful, and in some parts really made me laugh. Editing can be such a demoralising experience but Stuart has been so supportive and I couldn't be more grateful!
