Manuscript Evaluation
You and your manuscript are ready for a professional’s eyes on your work! You’re excited to work with someone who is going to give you positive, enthusiastic, but constructive feedback on your writing.
A very affordable option, the manuscript evaluation will provide you with feedback on your book’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as some helpful resources, but will leave it up to you to decide what changes will need to be made and how to go about making those edits to your manuscript.
Manuscript Critique
You’ve written your novel and you know it’s good, but you’re in need of some direction on where it can be improved, finessed and polished.
This service offers a bespoke editorial report that gives constructive, encouraging feedback on the ‘big picture’ elements of your manuscript, championing where your narrative excels and highlighting ways in which it can be improved.
Developmental Edit
You’re committed to this manuscript. You’ve had beta readers, you’ve revised, you’ve tweaked and agonised, plotted and replotted. You’re finally happy with the results and you’re ready to give your book baby the best shot to make its way in the world. You want the full package.
A full developmental edit includes not only an editorial report, but in-depth, detailed edits and notes within the manuscript itself. The developmental edit will use in-text comments to highlight specific examples and give suggestions for improvements throughout.
Editorial Consultancy
Stalled? Edits have you going around in circles? Unsure how to deal with feedback from beta readers?
If you aren’t looking for anything in-depth, but just want some feedback or advice from a developmental editor then this might be the service you need to get you back on track with your edits. This option gives you a 90 minute Zoom call with me to discuss a specific issue you are struggling with.
Bespoke Developmental Services
Still not sure which service you need? Or perhaps you would like something a little more bespoke?
I offer other services that can be specifically tailored to your needs, including opening chapter critiques or beta reads, for example.
Contact me directly to discuss your needs and I’ll see what I can do to provide a service specific to you.
